“It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.”

I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.
I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.
And, you know, being able to wear the stars and stripes, when you step up on one of the blocks or, you know, when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play, you know, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you.
I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.
