I love swimming, swimming's my passion and I hope I swim until the last day of my life, so I really, really do enjoy swimming, but swimming for me is simply a way of carrying a message.

Lewis Pugh

I think the offseason, it's an offseason, but it's where you can excel and where you can pass guys. It's something I always take super serious.

George Kittle

I grew up in Florida, so you start swimming at the age of 1, really. By 10, I was competitive swimming, and by 12, I had aspirations to be the best in the world.

Diana Nyad

I've actually medalled in every single swimming meet except for the Olympics, so that's the goal. I want to get on that podium - I really do. But for me, that's not something I can control... so I will be happy with going out there and swimming a race that I'm proud of.

Alia Atkinson

I couldn't make it on the swimming team in high school. In fact, I got thrown off the swimming team and was forced to audition for the school play because they had at the audition about 35 girls show up and no boys, so my swimming coach suggested that I might be able to do the drama department more good than I was doing the swimming team.

Ron Perlman

It's really nice to be able to go into the offseason and attack the training as soon as possible.

Adam Thielen

The last five years I've really worked on my mental health and seeing a therapist - which, it's so funny cause I thought that in going into therapy, I was going to talk all about swimming, and if anything, I never talk about swimming.

Keynesians think that you can take water from the deep end of the swimming, pump it into the shallow end of the swimming pool and somehow the water level of the swimming pool will rise.

Thomas Woods

Personally, I really approach every year the same way. I take my offseason training seriously.

Greg Olsen

Swimming is not a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. That's just common sense!

George Carlin

I was swimming for the United States of America. I was swimming to beat Stephen Holland.

Bobby Hackett

Education is fantastic. In my case I had to split my university course so it took a few more years. I really want to excel at everything I do, so I sat down and spoke with both my swimming coach and my tutor and we worked out a good plan to get the best out of both my swimming and my education.

Liam Tancock

I didn't know the English were good at swimming. I have been in this country for 12 years and I haven't seen a swimming pool.

Arsene Wenger

As long as I'm enjoying swimming, I will keep swimming.

Cate Campbell

Anything I do, I do with 110 percent. Right now, my biggest goal is the 2016 Olympics. My main focus is that. But after the sport of swimming-when it's all said and done-I want to get involved in fashion. I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.
