Every Day Is Different And Every Day

I Have The Opportunity To Be Part Of Swimming History. To Take The Sport To A New Level Would Be An Honor For Me. There's No Better Time To Try This Than Now.

I Grew Up Around The Pool With My Sisters. Both Of My Sisters Swam. I Was Always There. So I Thought, Why Not? My Mom Put Us In The Water For Water Safety, So We Were Comfortable In The Water In Case Anything Ever Happened. I Learned That Way, And Started Liking It More And More.

If You Look At Me, Basically My Whole Entire Life I've Been Around Water. So When You Look At A Stat Like, "if You Leave The Faucet Running For Two Minutes While You Brush Your Teeth You Waste Four Gallons Of Water," To Me That's Mind-blowing. There Are So Many People That Don't Even Have Access To Clean Water, And People Leave Their Faucets Running. For Me It Was Something That Fit With Things That I Believe In.

I'm Satisfied In A Way Because This Is An Eye Opener For Me, ... I Didn't Have The Success I've Always Been Able To Have. I Learned A Lot.

I Would Visualize The Best- And Worst-case Scenarios. Whether I Get Disqualified Or My Goggles Fill Up With Water Or I Lose My Goggles Or I Come In Last, I'm Ready For Anything.
