The goal is not to count medals, it's just racing the best I can.

When I got out of the water in my old routine, I'm just looking for any food in sight to just stuff in my body - just very, very hungry.

Swimming's been a part of my life very much so since around age 4, and I never really dropped it.

I get to do the fun part which is racing. I get to enjoy the race... I don't need a piece of medal to remind me of that.

I don't want to end up leaving the sport early or hating it because I didn't give myself time to respect the water and I feel like the water has always respected me. I would like to prioritize myself a little bit more instead of swimming.

I think simple's good. That's why I enjoy swimming. It's very primitive, very simple.
