I love to swim, and I love being near water.

Swimming is my passion and something that I love.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

I love the water. Everything about it. Smelling the humidity in the air, seeing the mist rise in the morning, feeling the dew-wet grass on my bare feet. I love watching the fish jump and the geese land. We even have an eagle here that circles every so often.

I think for me I've always loved being in the water and I love training and I love being at the pool so you know it's not a chore for me to go training, but come race day I would never just train to train - I train to race.

I love to watch the movement of light on water, and I love to play in rivers and lakes, swimming or canoeing. I am fascinated by people who work with water - fishermen, boatmen - and by a way of life that is dominated by water.

I swim for myself. I love it, I have fun, and just representing my country is the greatest honor I could ever have.

I love the sea.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.
