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

I could produce spurts of speed and after taking up athletics I found myself running quite quickly over 400m.

I swam very competitively till I was 15, then I swam for fun until I was 18. But athletics remain a very big part of my life. I try to keep that as much in balance with work as I can.

I was a competitive swimmer in middle school and high school.

I swam in high school.

My whole swimming career was about training to beat Michael Phelps in any race I possibly could.

My coach and I thought I could swim a 57.3 if I executed the perfect race, but I did even better than that.

I love to swim for miles; I could just go back and forth.

I can't really do the running on hard ground that I used to do. Instead I go swimming as often as possible.

It has nothing to do with swimming. That happens to be my sport. I'm trying to see how far I can go.
