I think you have to be weird to swim breaststroke.

I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.

Obviously, losing a parent is very difficult. I miss my dad every day, but I know he would be proud to see me continuing to swim and going for another shot at the Olympics.

At 28, you need recovery time after training.

When you get to an event like the Olympic Games, you can put too much pressure on yourself.

Most people take long breaks after Olympics. I needed some normalcy back in my life, so I came back to the pool.
