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

That's the quickest way to my heart: Laughter.

Pain, tolerance, endurance-when it comes down to that point, there's always something left. You just have to find it.

I'm not jealous of anybody, because I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it. I'm not going to be like, "Oh my God they have this, I want that."

After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.

There's so much more to me than swimming. I like to go and have fun, like to go dancing, hang out with my friends.

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