You can't go wrong with some nuts. The key word is 'some.' Eat them one at a time, not by the handful.

I enjoyed every bit of my swimming career. I think that's the most important advice - to enjoy what you do

I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'

I'm really conscious of the amount of food I eat, but I don't deny myself anything. For example, I have a really big sweet tooth. At the end of the night, if I'm craving ice cream, I might not have the bowl that I would have when I was a kid, but I'll put a couple of scoops in a coffee mug, and I'll eat it slowly, and I enjoy every moment of it.

I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.

I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!'

The things you learn from sports - setting goals, being part of a team, confidence - that's invaluable. It's not about trophies and ribbons. It's about being on time for practice, accepting challenges and being fearful of the elements.
