The team is really excited about getting the season started. They are looking forward to making themselves better swimmers each day.

That trip is always a very important part of our season. It's good for the team to spend a few days out of the water and bond. Everyone supports and helps each other while we're there and when we come back we're ready to rock and roll. I feel that our team is far ahead of anyone else.

We are excited about Rashad joining our team for the season. He is a marvelous athlete and we look forward to him bringing the same as an integral part of our coaching staff.

I feel very excited. I'm looking forward to what they have to say. The most important thing is, is it right? Is it right for them, and is it right for me?

To be a part of a championship team, I'm excited... This is the closest I've ever been to a championship. I'm looking forward to the challenge of helping this team repeat.

I have been looking forward to this game since last season.
