I Try To Separate My Personal Life

I'm Fortunate To Have An Amazing, Strong Mother Who Is So Supportive Of Everything Me And My Sisters Did Growing Up - But She Was Someone Who Never Forced Us To Go Swim Or To Go Do This Or That. She Helped Us Think About Certain Consequences When We Needed To, But We Made Our Own Decisions. I Think If I Were Forced To Swim, I Wouldn't Have Stayed In The Pool As Long As I Did.

I Wanted To Get The Fastest Time In The World This Year, But With Everything Going On, It's A Pretty Decent Swim, ... I Knew I Was Under World Record Pace. You Could Tell By The Crowd. You Can Always Tell At These Meets When Something Good Is Going On Because Of The Crowd.

I'm Kind Of A Creature Of Habit. Once I Get Used To Doing Things, It's Like Second Nature.

I Am Excited To Have The Opportunity To Help Provide The Same Swim Instruction That I Received As A Child When I Was Enrolled In A Water Safety Class At Five-years-old.

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.
