I can't surf, so I swim. It's the best workout I've ever known because it works your entire body.
The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
Swimming is my passion and something that I love.
I swim a lot. I swim most days.
I grew up as a swimmer, speaking of sports; I spent a lot of time before school and after school swimming.
I swam in high school.
I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.
I'm a great swimmer, probably due to the size of my feet.
I've always been a bit of a space geek. I wrote an article years ago about the neutral buoyancy tank, which is this biblically sized pool where they train astronauts. And it was just the coolest thing.
Swimming is still very much a part of me.
I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.
I swam underwater for 50 meters at a time and walked the length of the pool underwater, with a brick in each hand, all on a single breath.
I was a competitive swimmer in middle school and high school.
It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.
A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun.
Swimmers do not get a lot of telly time so you are not dealing with a lot of egos.
