It's Not How You Start,

Every Day After I Wake Up, I Think, 'wait... This Can't Be Real; I'm Still Going To Wake Up.'

It's The Olympics. If You Can't Get Up To Swim Early In The Morning, Don't Go.

I Have Had Extreme Ups And Downs. The Biggest Thing I Learned After I Broke My Wrist Is To Never Give Up. Nothing In Life Will Ever Come Easy. It Depends On How You Deal With Those Obstacles And How You Overcome Those Obstacles. If You Can Overcome Them, You're A Stronger Person. If You Make Mistakes Along The Way, As Long As You Never Make That Same Mistake Again, You're A Successful Person.

Swimming Is More Than A Once-every-four-years Sport. My Goal Is To Bring Attention To Swimming - To Give It Some Personality.

I Treat Every Race The Same. We All Wanted To Swim Fast Today And Give Something Back To The Crowd.
