I don't think they will know what it means until they reflect later.

They are realistic. Things like that happen, but they don't like to go anywhere and be given a swimming lesson.

I'm happy for the seniors. It's always good to win at home. You should protect your property and establish what's important.

We kind of got lucky here.

The team is swimming really well right now.

He was not one of the best in Great Britain. But we've been very fortunate because he's come here and his training level has gone up, and, as a result of that, he's elevated himself to where he is in the world, which is in the top five.

This is a very pleasant surprise. We didn't expect to win this relay.

We lost a couple of crucial swimmers, but this team is doing such a good job and really stepping up. If you ask them, they probably would say that they expect to finish just as well as last year, if not better.

We have a lot of little things to work on - technique - but when you are tired, you tend to be that way.
