Dream As Big As You Can Dream,

If You Look At Me, Basically My Whole Entire Life I've Been Around Water. So When You Look At A Stat Like, "if You Leave The Faucet Running For Two Minutes While You Brush Your Teeth You Waste Four Gallons Of Water," To Me That's Mind-blowing. There Are So Many People That Don't Even Have Access To Clean Water, And People Leave Their Faucets Running. For Me It Was Something That Fit With Things That I Believe In.

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.

I Won't Predict Anything Historic. But Nothing Is Impossible.

I Knew I Was Not A Failure In Any Way, And So Did Those Close To Me. It Doesn't Matter If You Fall Short; It Is Never A Failure To Go After Your Goals With Everything You've Got.

I Have Reached A Place In My Life Where I Need To Sit Down And Say, 'well, What Do I Do? What's Best For Me?' I Need To Look Into Options For The Future.
