I'm The Same Kind Of Guy Before

One Thing With Me, And Every Goal I've Had - In The Sport Of Swimming, My Mother Didn't Know My Goals. The Only Person That Knew My Goals Were My Coaches.

Water Has Always Been A Large Part Of My Life, So For Me Now, Being A Father With Another Child On The Way, I'm Just Teaching Some Of The Small Things I've Been Able To Learn - And Passing That Onto The Younger Generation. Small Things Like Turning Your Faucet Off When You Brush Your Teeth, Not Taking A 30-minute Shower When You Really Don't Need To. So I Want To Teach The Younger Generation To Spread The Message And Make A Difference. I'm Almost More Excited To Do This Than I Was To Swim.

When We Got In The Race, We Knew What We Had To Do And Knew What We Wanted To Do. Having Three Of Four Guys From The American Record 800 Free Relay Is A Pretty Solid Relay, So We Thought We Could Take A Crack At The U.s. Open Record Tonight. We're All A Little Tired, But That's Fifth-fastest American Relay Ever, So It's Not A Bad Time. We Ended Tonight On A Great Note.

I Wanted To Get The Fastest Time In The World This Year, But With Everything Going On, It's A Pretty Decent Swim, ... I Knew I Was Under World Record Pace. You Could Tell By The Crowd. You Can Always Tell At These Meets When Something Good Is Going On Because Of The Crowd.

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.
