Eat, Sleep And Swim, That's All I

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.

There's Such A High Stigma Around Talking About Your Feelings Or Insecurities Because, Especially For Men, We Don't Want To Show That "weakness." But I'm Always Like, "ok, What Would You Rather Do: Show Weakness And Get Better, Or Continue To Get Worse And Who Knows Where That Leads?" There's Something Behind The Suicide Rate Continuing To Climb Year After Year. Why Don't We Ask For Help?

My Mom Put Me And My Sisters In The Water To Feel Comfortable, To Have Water Safety.

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've Always Been Fortunate In That I've Been Able To Put Myself In My Own Zone And Relax. It Comes Naturally. I'm Lucky To Be That Way
