And, You Know, Being Able To Wear

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.

Obviously For Water Safety, You Want To Learn Just To Be Comfortable In The Water; That's The Main Goal. I Think The Second That You Start Freaking Out And Feeling Uncomfortable, It's Not Going To Go Well.

I Engaged In Behavior Which Was Regrettable And Demonstrated Bad Judgment. I'm 23 Years Old And Despite The Successes I've Had In The Pool, I Acted In A Youthful And Inappropriate Way, Not In A Manner People Have Come To Expect From Me. For This, I Am Sorry. I Promise My Fans And The Public It Will Not Happen Again.

Every Day, There's Always Something To Be Worried About; You Turn On The News And See Something Different Every Day, And It's Terrible. Hopefully, As Americans, And As The Inhabitants Of The World, We Can Come Together. We Need To Change Lives - Whether That's Conserving Water, Destigmatizing Mental Health Treatment Or Something Else. We Can Change Lives.

And, You Know, Being Able To Wear The Stars And Stripes, When You Step Up On One Of The Blocks Or, You Know, When You Step Off Of An Airplane Or When You Hear The National Anthem Play, You Know, It's One Of The Greatest Feelings In The World Because You Know That There Are People At Home Who Are Supporting You And Watching You.
