3. What is your most embarrassing moment in sport?
During warm-ups at a meet, my coach yelled for us to get in the water by red top on the lock or else he’d scratch us from the entire meet, so I ran and jumped in with my clothes on, and my coach started laughing.  Then I realized that the clock wasn’t turned on.

8. You love swimming because…
I love the cheers, long bus rides with the team, the jokes, the friendships, the laughs, the love, the coaches you hate but appreciate later. The way it feels at the end of a hard practice or when you beat the person next to you by a tenth of a second, and how your team becomes your family. The collection of t-shirts and medals and not being able to put into words how the meet went and the feeling when you step up onto the blocks each time you race.

Spending time with friends, reading, shopping, boating, travelling and most of all, relaxing!
