I Feel Most At Home In The

I Felt Comfortable In The Water. I Was In My Own World, Focused. I Love Sports And I'm A Very Goal-oriented Person. Once I Started Falling In Love With Sports, It Was Easy. I Was Able To Put My Mind On Something And Go For It. That's How I Am With Everything, It Doesn't Matter What It Is That I Do. If I Want To Do Something, Nothing Will Stand In My Way.

I Wanted To Get The Fastest Time In The World This Year, But With Everything Going On, It's A Pretty Decent Swim, ... I Knew I Was Under World Record Pace. You Could Tell By The Crowd. You Can Always Tell At These Meets When Something Good Is Going On Because Of The Crowd.

I'm Pretty Lazy. My Wife Always Says, "you're The Laziest, Most Successful Olympian I've Ever Seen." How Does That Make Sense? Honestly, If I Have Downtime, I'm Really, Really Good At Not Doing Anything.

Eat, Sleep And Swim, That's All I Can Do.

I'm Fortunate To Have An Amazing, Strong Mother Who Is So Supportive Of Everything Me And My Sisters Did Growing Up - But She Was Someone Who Never Forced Us To Go Swim Or To Go Do This Or That. She Helped Us Think About Certain Consequences When We Needed To, But We Made Our Own Decisions. I Think If I Were Forced To Swim, I Wouldn't Have Stayed In The Pool As Long As I Did.
