You're Never Too Old To

Just Getting In The Pool For Seven Straight Hours Is Unbearable To Me.... It's Grueling. There's Nothing Physically Pleasurable About It. If You're Doing A Hard Workout, You're Throwing Up In The Gutter. At Night You Cling To Your Pillow And Just Hope That Your Body Revives Before You Have To Go Back And Do It Again.

When You Achieve Your Dreams It's Not So Much What You Get, It's Who You Become.

From Age Eleven To Age Sixteen I Lived A Spartan Life Without The Usual Adolescent Uncertainty. I Wanted To Be The Best Swimmer In The World, And There Was Nothing Else.

This Journey Has Always Been About Reaching Your Own Other Shore No Matter What It Is, And That Dream Continues.

I Am Willing To Put Myself Through Anything; Temporary Pain Or Discomfort Means Nothing To Me As Long As I Can See That The Experience Will Take Me To A New Level.
