It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.

I think to be - for me to be an American is - you know, it's one of the greatest things in the world for - you know, for me just because I've been able to grow up with everything. The freedom. You know, in my eyes this is the greatest country in the world.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.

I'm not a vitiligo spokesperson just because I have vitiligo.

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.
