If someone throws you in a pool and you can't swim, you're going to struggle.

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

As long as there's a body of water nearby, I'm happy. Pools don't count. I like diving into the ocean and coming out refreshed.

It seems to me I spent my life in car pools, but you know, that's how I kept track of what was going on.

Why is it such a big deal what I'm swimming?

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'm really looking forward to just concentrating on the swimming part now instead of what's going on with me outside the pool.

I don't swim! That's like athletic.

I've gradually gained more confidence swimming for distance in the open sea, but I still return to the rock pools.

I can swim I'm not bad, but not great.
