I swam in high school.

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

I try to separate my personal life from swimming.

I came to water late. I learned to swim at the age of 20.

I could float in the pool for hours, just letting the water carry me.

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 a curious person, and I always like to test new waters, and I've always jumped into the cold water and then started to think about how to swim.

I was swimming in my swimming pool when 'The Secret Lovers' popped entire into my head. I got out, dried off, went upstairs, and finished the book in about 50 days.
