I think I'd struggle to get excited by synchronised swimming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
I can't imagine what I would be doing if I wasn't swimming. It is what I want to do now; it is what I want to do in the foreseeable future, and that is what I'm focusing on.
I think you have to be weird to swim breaststroke.
I'm really looking forward to just concentrating on the swimming part now instead of what's going on with me outside the pool.
I love to swim for miles; I could just go back and forth.
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
I thought I could, and thought I would, swim a lot quicker - much quicker.
It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.
It's always great to see young swimmers and their excitement and the joy that they have in the water.
I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.
