There Will Be Obstacles. There Will Be

If I Want To Achieve The Goals I've Set, I've Got To Be In Tip-top Shape.

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.

There Are So Many Things That I Still Want To Do. My Foundation, Growing My Brand . . . The List Is Endless. I'm Honestly Busier Now Than I Was When I Was Swimming. It's Kind Of Weird, But I Feel Like More Of An Adult Because I Have To Do Stuff Every Day. Whether It's Checking Emails Or Making Phone Calls Or Doing This And That, It's Fun For Me. It's The Start Of A New Chapter. At Times, It Is Frustrating, But I Know It's Not Going To Be Easy To Accomplish The Goals That I Want.

I Know It Won't Be Eight Medals Again. If You Want To Compare Me To That, That's Your Decision, Not Mine. I'm Going Out There To Try To Accomplish The Things That I Have In My Mind And In My Heart.

It's The Olympics. If You Can't Get Up To Swim Early In The Morning, Don't Go.
