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

I realise every swimmer has a shelf life. No, I haven't given any thought to when I will retire, but I also know I won't be able to swim forever.

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

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

I want to continue the sport of swimming. I'm not going to give up until I think it's reached where I want it to go.

I think swimming's hard because I can't float.

I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.

I try to separate my personal life from swimming.

I'm still swimming.
