These are my shoes that I designed from top to the very sole to the very top to the bottom. Laces.

I suddenly said, 'I'm sick of losing'. After that, I trained hard and I never lost there again.

I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry.

I honestly think if I would've tied my suit and there wouldn't have been any water rushing through it, I think I could've gone at least a second faster.

I really want to get into designing my own business suit. I've designed a couple suits for myself that I've worn in the past, and I have a good idea of what I want and need to use.

I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.

You know, you pick and choose your battles.
