Quotes
A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun.
I'm just an all-around happy girl who loves everything about her life.
I'm always so excited about what I do that I try to get everyone to feel that way.
I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried.
For right now, I still believe that college is what's going to make me the happiest girl.
