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

The key to the Lochte haircut is being fresh and looking up-to-date.

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

I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.

I honestly really don't get aggravated at all. I just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.

When I was a kid, I looked up to an Olympian superstar. I won't mention his name but when I asked for his autograph he said, 'no.'

Stay motivated, set goals, have fun
