Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.' ↗

Most people take long breaks after Olympics. I needed some normalcy back in my life, so I came back to the pool. ↗

Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at. ↗
