Training Camp

Training Camp in Knoxville is going well. We have been here for seven days so far. Everyone is working hard. We all work to make improvements and perfect certain things. Yesterday we got the afternoon off, which was nice to relax. I have to pack again soon because we leave the country soon for a second training camp. I'm really excited and just trying to enjoy every minute and have fun!

My Interview with Katie Couric

While in New York for the Golden Goggles, I had the pleasure of meeting Katie Couric for an interview. It is for her show called “The Year with Katie Couric” that is going to air on December 19th on ABC.

Speedo Shoot in NYC

“Get out of your own way. Stop “trying” to swim fast by over thinking your race, and just get in there and GO!”

Where it all started

My Olympics

It was easy for me to rank these Olympic Games because I had two other Olympics ('04, '08) to compare it to. The 2012 London Olympics was hands down the best one.
