Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline character and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.

Swimming is one of the hardest sports.

Actually I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.

I like sports and swimming is my favorite. Doing physical exercises keeps one fit and healthy and helps one work more efficiently. I think we all need to strike a balance between work and relaxation. This can keep us energetic and help us do our job better.

I never really participated in specific sports or anything but once I hit 40 I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

This house was our dream-the gardens the study even the swimming pool. Even though I can't see John when I wake up in the morning I can always feel him here with me.

Even in high school I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.

If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like 'How do we get one of those?' and she was like 'You can't get a dolphin. What are you gonna do like put it in your pool?'

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid no cook no swimming pool.

I think I was a good student because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.
