You see a lot of us lingering around. We'll just stand there on the edge of the pool and kinda psych ourselves up into getting in.

I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.

There's just something about that cold rush that I know I hate and a lot of other swimmers hate.

There's an adage that a lot of coaches have, that I completely disagree with, is if you make the Olympic team too early you become complacent.

I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.
