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

For as long as I wanted to swim, I also wanted to do something on TV. My best friend in high school, we used to pretend like we had a TV show, and we had this dream of being the next 'Kate Allie.' Having that kind of a shtick.

I was a die-hard, obsessed fan of Michael Jordan. I'd take his posters with me to away meets, I'd walk out on the deck in my Air Jordans before I swam, I'd write 23 on my cap. I'm just a huge Jordan fan.

I slice up a ton of cucumbers, celery, carrots and red and yellow peppers. Keep them in your fridge so you always have something handy to curb your snack attack.

When I was younger, I would eat everything.

Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.

It really was my brother who got me involved in swimming. I wanted to be just like him and do everything he was doing.
