If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
Even in high school, I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say, 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.
Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.
