There's just something about that cold rush that I know I hate and a lot of other swimmers hate.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

You see a lot of us lingering around. We'll just stand there on the edge of the pool and kinda psych ourselves up into getting in.

I hate how late we have our Olympic Trials, always have.

There's an adage that a lot of coaches have, that I completely disagree with, is if you make the Olympic team too early you become complacent.

When I'm passionate about something, I just get excited.
