"People say swimming is easy. We train longer and harder for one race. If we mess up that race, we cant go and fix it or make it up later in the game/match. Everyone else can."

"0.01. it takes longer to blink. it takes longer to sneeze. it takes longer to grab your burning hand from a stove. but 0.01 is shorter than the time it takes to win or lose a race.
i dont complain when we have to do 15x500 or 100x100 on those crazy intervals. i dont care if we have to do 20x300 five times in a row. it might take 6 hours and all im doing is training for a 100 yard/meter race. u might say its not worth it. but do u wanna go to Trials and lose by a 0.01? just because u wanted to slack off in practice? i dont whine. if u do, dont swim. swimmers dont get any time-outs, subsitutes, or half-times. if u cant handle that, go away. if u can, wanna race????"

"even though i m only 13 i have realised that being a swimmer requires much more than a physical, a good training...it requires ur mental, ur feelings..only if u want it u can do it..only if u feel it,if u feel the water that passes through ur face and body while sliding through the pool...if u know what u r doing, if u realise that staying there for a bit seconds seems like being there for several hours, if u feel like home when u r in the water...then u know what meaning has swimming for u...i have realised that and i love it...:)"

"Being on that block is the most amazing feeling, bent down, finger tips on the edge of the cement, eyes closed, breathing deeply, waiting for the deep voice telling you to take your mark. Once you hear his voice, you automatically go into that tight stance. Waiting. Waiting. It seems like hours even though its only seconds. Then once you hear the beginning of that electric beep, your arms fly forward you open your eyes and jump as high and as far as your legs can take you. You bend your body down and dive into the water. The feeling, for that split second, in midair is amazing and indescribable."

"It is only when things go wrong if your life - in the swimming world or not. If things go wrong it is your team that you turn to for support. The bond between a team is strong and unbreakable. When things went wrong in my life it was my swim team that i went to. Without my team, i would be lost. Without them, i would not be me. "
