The swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?

I was a better basketball player growing up in high school than I was a swimmer. Basketball to this day is my favorite sport.

Pain is temporarily, but pride last forever

The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.

I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, "I can do this." Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.

My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

Of course I have bad hair days; I’m human.
