Very few women get asked to be in the swimsuit issue, and I'm really proud to be one of so many beautiful and empowering women.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What woman doesn't want to feel comfortable in a swimsuit? It's incredibly empowering.
On the beach, we women are at our most exposed and therefore most vulnerable. As any woman deserves to look and feel good, especially when she's away on holiday, she needs swimwear that pays proper attention to comfort and function. And there should also be some thought put into value.
In some countries, women aren't allowed to wear a swimsuit.
I'm completely bathing suit-obsessed, and I love lurking on Instagram looking for the best bikinis.
They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.
I'm not getting recognized because I posed in a swimsuit edition of some magazine, but because of what I do on the field, and that's important to me.
For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.
I live in a swimsuit so I'm really comfortable with my body.
I've always been kind of uncomfortable just on the beach in a swimsuit. I'm never my most confident in a bikini on the beach, especially when you know people are looking at you, and they expect one thing because of what they see in the magazines, and you might not look that way. It's always been a scary thing for me.
I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.
