I grew up down in Florida, and in the Keys, there’s this place called Sea Camp which was not unlike Space Camp, except you explored the sea. And so that kind of whetted my appetite for that. But then I ended up swimming in a lagoon full of Cassiopeia jellyfish, and that quickly quashed that desire to be a marine biologist. – Joe Lo Truglio
Both the velodrome and the Commonwealth swimming pool are open to the public and are frequently used by local schools and the local community.

When I was six, right before I started swimming, we went to a national competition here in Maryland and watched Michael Phelps swim, and I got to meet him afterwards, and I got his autograph. Fast forward nine years, and I’m at the Olympics with him, and it’s like: ‘Woah.’ – Katie Ledecky
I love figure skating, so I do that as often as I can. Other than that I just go to the gym or swim. I love swimming. – Jennette McCurdy
Sure, I’ve felt racism. I think everybody has prejudice. When I was growing up, the dark Mexican kids weren’t allowed in the public swimming pool in Dallas. My light-skinned friend got in, and he laughed at us. It didn’t seem like a big deal, because we didn’t know any different. So I never ran into anything that actually scarred me. – Lee Trevino
With that radio I was always swimming with the current political streams in the West. I was never stranded. – Lennart Meri

When I started ‘Third Watch,’ I knew I was going to be with the firefighters and lifting, so I was doing yoga, running, and swimming – all at the same time. I didn’t have a kid then. Now I don’t have time for that. I want to spend time with my son and my husband, so it’s mainly just yoga now. – Kim Raver
It’s cool just because I’ve had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it’s finally happening. – Michael Phelps
I play sports – like, I play a little bit of tennis, swimming, like a normal kid. I watch movies. – Joey Alexander
I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery. – Ryan Lochte
I’m a little top heavy, so I have to pay attention to that area. I think it was from my years of swimming in school when I was a kid and it just overdeveloped my upper body. In fact, when I started modeling, my back was so developed, I could not fit into any dresses. – Rebecca Romijn
I’ve always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really. – Robert Wyatt
