When I Race, I Don't Think About

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.

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?

I Love To Race The Best People In The World And The Fastest People In The World.

Before, It Came Easy For Me. I Don't Have Two Speeds Anymore. I Need To Focus On The Small Things That I Once Took For Granted.

I've Been Able To Get An Excitement Back In The Water.
