At 4, I joined a summer rec team called the Sugar Bears.

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

For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!

When people say, 'Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?' I say, 'Yeah, what should I bring?' They say, 'How about the dessert?' I just don't skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don't eat the whole pan.

The first mile is mental. The rest are all heart.

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

Daily repetition matters when a kid is learning to swim. It can be 20 minutes in a lesson or an hour practicing for a couple of weeks.
