I have always had a very natural connection to the water, and that connection stems from the ocean itself.

The ocean is the lifeblood of our world. If we were to lose our fish that we appreciate so much by overfishing; or if we were to lose some of our favorite beaches to overbuilding and pollution, then how would we feel? It's become a case of not knowing what you've got until it's gone.

This connection took longer than anticipated, but water supply was restored to the market later in the morning.

My life has been no downs, just ups knock on wood. So far, it's been all right.

Coming off the Olympics and breaking the world record, it's been pretty spectacular. I'm happy with my season.

Couldn't have asked for a better meet as far as the competition goes, ... Those are some great fans sitting out there, a lot of kids and that's kind of who we're trying to reach with this.
