Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.'
From Eric Shanteau
I've been in a Speedo half my life. So I am really comfortable with my body.
I don't let myself get upset about the little nitpicky things anymore.
I don't know what cancer did to me but I put on probably 10 pounds of muscle and got a lot stronger in the weight room and during our dry-land stuff.
If I have one message to young swimmers about taking care of their bodies, it's definitely take care of your shoulders.
I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
I attacked my cancer diagnosis the same way I attack training and competing, and that's pretty fearless.
Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.
After my cancer diagnosis, I really took my swimming to a new level.
I think you have to be weird to swim breaststroke.
