You can't drown yourself in drink. I've tried, you float.

I do a lot of swimming, both in the ocean and in the pool.

I could make good time because I was so long and skinny, shooting through the water like a stick.

Swimming took up so much of my faculties, and for so long, I was willing to give it everything.

Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.

Back in my mind, I never, ever wanted to give up swimming; it was something that I would carry on with.

I thought I could, and thought I would, swim a lot quicker - much quicker.

I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.
