I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
Being happy outside the pool means fast swimming in the pool.
I've kind of got an out in cancer. It keeps things in perspective for me.
If I have one message to young swimmers about taking care of their bodies, it's definitely take care of your shoulders.
Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.
