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 have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.

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

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.

I can't swim at the level I used to. I had to retire because of an injury to my shoulder.

Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.

I try to go to the gym three times a week, and I swim, too.

I was an avid swimmer and was state champ at age 12.

I swim every other day. That's my exercise.
