My memoir OUTSIDE THE LANES is now available for pre-order and out April 1st!
I’m really proud of this book—it shows what you don’t see about being an elite athlete as a young child, and I hope it will inspire you to chase the impossible.

Didn’t see a single shark during my decade long open water swimming career or my 21 hour channel swim, but today I FINALLY saw a 5 foot whitetip reef shark hanging out with a turtle in the middle of the ocean and it was one of the best moments of my life
SO HAPPY for @arschmitty, the true embodiment of an Olympian. The first time I met her in the 2012 ready room, she offered to help me put my cap on, she’s way too peppy at 5:52 AM, and always lets me borrow her car and steal her clothes. @TeamUSA is SO lucky to have her again!
@swimhardy AGREED! Still thinking about this. “People like you have a hard time. It’s two sides of the same coin––you have your gift and you have what it costs.”
