Against Quotes
He gave me an opportunity to swim against the best swimmer of his day in the lane next to me, ... Don Schollander. He said, 'Keep up with him,' which I did.

College Quotes
This requires a mentality that encourages learning rather than a fear of making a mistake. Try something new and different, but know we're not going to kill each other if things don't work out. I was a swimmer in college and I swam fast when I imagined a shark was after me. I swam just as fast when I imagined I was in the Olympics. It's a question of what you want to focus on -- fear or opportunity.

Best Quotes
Ryan is certainly the best swimmer we've ever had at the University of Florida. He holds the school record in both butterfly events, both individual medleys, both of the backstrokes. He's got the freestyle. He's on every relay and could probably hold a few more of our records. He just hasn't had a chance to swim the events.

Again Quotes
It was a very big switch for us. By her winning it, Julia and Stephanie Greenfield having a great swim there in the IM, I felt like we could still take 2-3-4 in the 500. A girl like Shannon Kemp, our third swimmer in the 200 and 500, she's really stepped up and she did it again today. She took a fourth in the 5, and a fifth in the 200. That is very helpful to us.

Club Quotes
Club swimmers get in 2,000 to 2,500 extra yards. Multiply that by 15 weeks, and if they're a club kid they're getting in the pool two months before everybody else even hits the water. ... There is not swimmer out there at any level who swims an hour or 45 minutes a day who is highly successful.

Best Quotes
He's one of the best swimmers that Prep has ever had or will see for the next 20 years. I have so much faith in him that I can put him in any event and he will win. There aren't a lot of swimmers who can compete with him. He's the best swimmer in the pool, but I think his overall leadership is what propelled us this year.

Sea Quotes
It was what accidental deaths did to people, made everybody's sea floor irregular and uneven, causing tidal currents to collide, surge upward, thereby resulting in small yet volatile eddies churning at everybody's surface. (In the more dangerous cases, it created a lasting whirlpool in which the strongest swimmers could drown.)
