Records Are Made To Be

I've Been Around Water My Whole Life, So I Basically Really Learned At A Young Age The Importance Of It But Also One Day, At One Point, Clean Water Will Be Hard To Find. There's So Many People Throughout The World That Don't Have Access To Clean Water. Obviously We're Extremely Fortunate To Have The Opportunities That We Have And To Have All The Water That We Have. Like I Said, And I Can't Say It Enough, We All Should Work Together To Try And Conserve As Much As We Possible Can.

This Is My 20th Year In The Sport. I've Known Swimming And That's It. I Don't Want To Swim Past Age 30; If I Continue After This Olympics, And Come Back In 2016, I'll Be 31. I'm Looking Forward To Being Able To See The Other Side Of The Fence.

Before The (olympic) Trials I Was Doing A Lot Of Relaxing Exercises And Visualization. And I Think That That Helped Me To Get A Feel Of What It Was Gonna Be Like When I Got There. I Knew That I Had Done Everything That I Could To Get Ready For That Meet, Both Physically And Mentally

Not Having To Travel And Being Able To Settle In Has Helped Me In Training Life And School Life. I've Learned To Get A Grip And Take Care Of Myself.

With Social Media, So Many People Have Anxiety And Depression Because Of It. Of Course Technology Is Somewhat Good, But It Can Present So Many Issues; More And More We're Seeing What That's Causing, And It's Even Leading To Deaths. I Just Got Finished Doing A Documentary Called Anx With Children Talking About Anxiety And Recognizing Their Emotions And Understanding Them Better. We Need To Let Kids Know It's Ok To Not Be Ok. And We Need To Help Them Be Comfortable Talking About It.
