The inside of his mouth looks like mud, just like he looks. Then he has this red tongue that is skinny and bright. ... It looks like a worm swimming around.

David Nieves

This league is about having blood in the water, and making sure your sharks swim around that surface. That's what we expect to do Sunday.

Brent Barry

We don't usually swim well at Westhill and this meet was no exception; they are three deep in each event and just were too much for us.

Garry Smith

I knew coming into this meet that we were going to win. We had absolutely great swim. I'm so proud of everybody.

Holly Ward

It is a day off from swimming and then my Carey Swimming Club relays tomorrow and Saturday.

Shayne Reese

I am really glad that we had such a good turnout for this. We're trying to determine the correct — if there is — location for the pool. With the bond money, we've got $972,000 to be put towards a swimming pool. Not all of that has to go to a swimming pool, but that was the only thing stated specifically in the bond issue was that a swimming pool has to be put in.

Chuck Freemyer

We actually didn't swim very well tonight. West Chester won seven individual events out of nine. We were just tired and not as up for it.

Mike Schnur

I can't expect 13 girls with nine freshmen to be able to go out there and hold their own. I also don't want to be discouraging. It's not that we can't accomplish good things, but we are in a league packed with swimming powerhouses.

Patti Hoch

The main reason I swim is to stay alive.

Tom Kimball

It was a season best for Pilchard for the 1,000 free and she had a great training trip. She was injured at the beginning of the week so we weren't even sure if she would end up swimming the meet.

Peter Linn

The water's covering their car and they can't get out, ... The only way out is to get out and swim, and they don't want to take that chance. I'm trying to do anything I can to get somebody to go over there and help her.

Paula Mitchell

It was good to swim against teams from other districts just to see what the competition may be like.

Chere' Moore

Every SEC championship is different because the personalities of the teams are different. Swimming in the SEC is only going to get better, but for the moment, we're very proud to be number one.

David Marsh

Kenyon is opening a new facility and we will be the second opponent to swim in their new pool. The Ladies are a powerhouse in Division III swimming and this should be a good test for us, swimming against a quality opponent on the road.

Brian Vereb

I don't think Ian has anything to be disappointed about. I'm really proud of him. He had a great swim, a great season.

Sue Falash

He gave me an opportunity to swim against the best swimmer of his day in the lane next to me, ... Don Schollander. He said, 'Keep up with him,' which I did. Then he taught me how to beat him, which I did. He was a great teacher. He knew what he was doing, and he instilled a tremendous amount of confidence in those around him.

Mark Spitz

I got him to close the distance on the tackle as quick as possible. He wants to get on top of him as quickly as he can and then work his swim move or use his physicality. He's got long arms, and he's powerful. Before, he was just getting ridden off the quarterback, and because his steps were off, it made him look mechanical. But he's not. He's a really fluid athlete.

Andre Patterson

Everyone contributed in everyway possible. It was just an awesome all-around team effort where everybody was going to go down fighting. It just kept getting stronger and stronger. It is amazing how we got on a roll like that. The team was just swimming unbelievably. You can't describe it with words. It is just a phenomenal feeling to watch them pull out performances like they did.

Neil Harper

The location of course, being right on the river gorge, will be wonderful for housing developers - they're going to be swimming all over the property.

Jim Swift

This is my last swimming meet as a coach, and it's kind of a strange feeling because I've wanted to be a swimming coach since I was 12-years-old, ... The biggest thing I'm going to miss is being a partner with the athletes and living their dreams. I just loved that, and I'm going to miss it a lot. But, I'm closing out this phase of my life, and I'm very excited about where I'm headed.

Richard Quick

Year-in and year-out, Hidden Valley is a powerhouse in swimming in the Roanoke area. In the past, they've been very, very good.

Ray Davidson

We've been swimming at nude beaches and I love to go skinny dipping, but I'm sorry, sitting on top of a mountain, that's just, you're trying to show off or something. That's ridiculous.

Andy Richter

We've very excited to host our district meet. Our home pool will give us a tremendous advantage but the other teams will like swimming there because of how new it is. It's well-lit and deep and has a lot of other benefits of a newer pool.

Shari Walling

I was really excited. I started swimming year round, but I didn't expect to make states. It was a shock.

Jesse Mudrick

I've been swimming as hard as I can. Hopefully, this is going to be a good meet. It is certainly been the focus of my season.

Tara Kirk

I definitely want to leave an impression on them. I want people to remember how I swim at this meet.

Mike Cavic

What is beauty, or our sense of beauty, for? Where did it come from? Is it some accidental off-flowering from sex? Was the lion I saw swimming alone up and down an inlet, parting its sleek dark head to bark and bark and bark, feeling something we might recognize as an aesthetic zest?

John Hart

Ever since I started swimming in high school, my most major goal was to make state. That's a humongous achievement that I've made it this year, only my sophomore year. Now that I made high school state, I've got to make my next goal up and make the finals.

Ben Russell

I closed out my career on a positive note. Not only did I set two records this season, I also won three medals in state, including one in an individual event. I'm excited that I got to swim for such a successful program.

Stephanie Terrell

Swimming is individual-oriented. We encourage all swimmers to go for their personal best as opposed to the (team) win.

Brian Townsend

When you're going through all of this, the last thing you're thinking of as a patient, and especially as a caregiver, is to give yourself something that nurtures you and something that helps you not to get overwhelmed and burned out. Poetry, silence, walks, back rubs, or swimming, whatever, it's the thing you need most, and it's the thing you have to give yourself.

Marcia Wallace

We have not won an event, and we're winning the meet. We're winning it with our depth so far, but there's another day of swimming.

Larry Swim

Her 10th birthday was last May, but she wanted to wait to have the party until I could be there, ... We're going to have it at the swimming pool at my house.

Richard Quick

Thorpe will be back, which is good. Swimming is huge in Australia, and me and Roland versus Thorpe is already being built up.

Ryk Neethling

Fish swim, birds fly, and people feel.

Dr. Haim Ginott

He was kind of hidden because he didn't win an event or swim on an A relay but he had a great meet.

Peter Linn

It's exciting but I get out there and I just cheer. I can't get out there and swim. I was hyperventilating.

Michelle Brune

We use the coastline as much as the sea otters. And we take fish from the water, we swim in the water, surf in the water. And what's happening to the sea otter could very well be happening to a much larger picture than just the animals themselves.

Carl Benz

You can't sink or swim with one guy. If Ricky is out, which is feasible, I think they have to come right back and draft one.

Frank Coyle

That's apples and oranges. It's fine to recognize what has transpired. I think it's not fair to suggest . . . that because my neighbor has a swimming pool, I have to have one.

Clark Lindley

It's great news ... it's a key element of bringing swimming back to Charles.

Robert Zimmerman

(It's not like) swimming, or any sport where the endurance factor is such a big deal. In a sport like skiing, you just get it one day. All of a sudden, you're skiing great, and there may not be a real explanation for that.

Thomas Grandi

Genetic engineering companies want to create a situation where you have to get permission from a corporation to eat. And the corporate executives don't live in the community. They don't send their kids to the same school. They don't go to the same churches. They don't play in the same parks. They don't swim in the same pools. They don't go to the same movies.

Jerry Brown

For the most part it (high school) has been great and I know I'm going to miss my friends. I'm planning on swimming in college, but I know it won't be the same.

Lacey Shumate

Outside of the Olympics, swimming seems to disappear from public view and there's a drop-off in participation. Young kids are drawn to what will get their name in the paper. But those who stay realize the beauty of the sport.

Rich Brion

Byers had a really fast anchor swim in the 400.

Vic Santoro

He is the better equipped for life. As for swimming, who has the less to carry.

Apuleius

We had so many kids contribute. It was good to let some of them swim in other events. Overall, it was a fun day for us.

Leeann Pepe

I didn't know anything about it, ... Now I know I definitely want to swim in college. That's my goal.

Carl Miller

The Vector Control program is now taking to the air to detect mosquito-breeding sites. …We conducted aerial surveys of Fallbrook, El Cajon and Alpine using the sheriff's helicopter. We identified numerous ponds and backyard swimming pools that are likely breeding mosquitoes, which we will investigate and treat as soon as possible.

Gary Erbeck

In the divine Scriptures, there are shallows and there are deeps; shallows where the lamb may wade, and deeps where the elephant may swim.

John Owen

Matt would sit at the dinner table the night before a swim meet and he would name a record and say to me, 'Tomorrow that one goes down. And, the next day it would.

Bill Lynch

He definitely had a passion for the sport of swimming. You could see that when he met with the people on campus and with the team. They met with him and interacted with him very positively.

Jerry Wollmering

It was weird. I had no idea where I was or what kind of pace I was swimming.

Sarah Howard

About 30 people were able to swim across to the river bank but at least 40 to 45 people are feared drowned.

Anil Kumar

I can't live over water. I can't swim. I wouldn't want to see no more water. I saw enough already.

Donna Smith

He's a very experienced swimmer. He's been swimming for years, so he is really strong and was able to step in and bring that relay to the next level. ... For a kid to come in midseason with less workout time than anyone else and get fifth in the backstroke is amazing.

Lisa Corbett

I'm starting to feel very possessive about it. I feel like I've got a good grip on it, only in the sense that I know how I need to swim it, whether I'm feeling good, bad or in between.

Aaron Peirsol

Jeff Winters can pretty much swim anything. He's very versatile and is one of our top swimmers.

Nicole Mancini

Everyone at the meet swam one or more best times. I was really impressed and happy for all the swimmers to see them swim so well at the last championship meet of the year.

Brian Holm

It's a heartache. I never thought I'd be homeless. I'm fearful of the levee. It's so far below sea level. You might go to bed and wake up swimming — if you know how to swim. I have a yearning for a quieter place.

Mary Jones

Without the meet being limited entries, second place in the league is pretty good. It's what we could've expected. Really we thought outright second in the league was where we would end up because we did not anticipate losing to Brandon. We didn't swim like we were supposed to that day but we felt pretty good about coming out front in the Metro Meet.

Brad Jones

Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.

Scott Weiland

They know there are sex offenders hanging around the community center with kids and at the swimming pool, but they've lacked any legal mechanism to exclude them.

Attorney General Rob Mckenna

We were strong and solid and steady. We acted as a good team today. Every boy we had swimming individually in a race got through (to state). That's a first for us.

Rob Rooney

At the start of this season, we asked the kids if they wanted to swim as Royal Oak, or if they wanted to be known as the Ravens. They preferred to be Royal Oak for one more season.

Darrin Millar

That was a great swim for Katie, mixing it up with the Front Range girls.

George Philpott

Swimming and water [resistance] work is probably the best thing anybody can do to prevent injuries.

Bridgett Marx

Of course, sodium is a vital constituent of the human body. Our tissues swim in a salty sea The more salt in that sea, the more water is needed to dilute it, to maintain the proper concentration of sodium.

Jane E. Brody

She was in the (Westerly) High School meet on Friday. She would have won if she wasn't tired from swimming the day before.

Denise Griffin

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning. A fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. Genius would have it that we swim in sand. We are fish and we drown.

James Dean

To win in dual meets in swimming you have to have every event covered, particularly sprints. We have no true backstroke sprinter on our team.

Michael Chasson

That's tough as a coach. Whoever is swimming is who she's rooting for.

Tim Graham

Kelly's 200 IM was just a phenomenal swim. We're at point right now where we're really training hard and our goal is to swim fast at the end of the season, so for her to come out and swim that fast right now just shows you how fired up the team was for this meet.

Mark Morehouse

I think it was the biggest weekend in a quarter century for a women's swimming team at Rutgers.

Chuck Warner

We had to swim underneath the door jams to get outside, where we clung to the gutters. We made our way to the back of the house and clung to the magnolia tree out there.

William Phillips

I consider myself a swimmer and a diver. I know what swimmers go through and what divers go through. Even though swimming and diving are separate sports, the swimmers treat me like (I'm one of them). They are always there for me.

Sarah Snyder

I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You're just as free as a bird!

Bette Page

I do believe that by extending the outfall away from a bathing area . . . we will improve . . . the quality of the water that people are swimming in.

David Rosenblatt

I led off our 200-free relay last year and I had a great time [swimming the 50-yard distance]. I decided to go with the 50 this year.

Colin Murtagh

Strong biceps and triceps help me slice through the water's resistance and swim more efficiently.

Amanda Beard

A scrupulous investigation into the accident has been conducted within a month's time, as was promised. It was established that outrageous violation of the instructions by senior officials of the Russian Pacific Fleet was the main cause of wrong 'swimming and diving rounds'.

Sergei Ivanov

It was the only place we could swim.

The Clarion ledger

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it!

Jonathan Winters

We just want to swim a great time with our 400 free relay. But if we get under 3:40, you never know, we could get on the podium.

Kelli Reynolds

It's a tough thing. But I think the Rowland Hall kids really have a lot of discipline. These kids, because their school work is so hard, they carry that discipline over to swimming.

Larry Jackson

I can't think of an event Kelsey won't swim. She's versatile and talented.

Chuck Olson

I think I would've regretted it. I thought a lot about not swimming in college, but I felt ... after swimming the last 10 years that I've got to give college a chance. Now, I think I'm going to love it.

Lauren Rhea

Swimming was a big deal for us. It was sort of a bonding thing for my dad and I.

Ron Reagan

Basically we have to swim like the prelims are your last swim in order to get into the finals. I'm ready.

Chris Palacios

I was really young when I swam at Ridgewood. I don't remember much besides that I was a little kid who was happy to be out of school for the summer. But I do remember Peter from swimming there and from going to school with him. I'm really glad I got to know all those guys growing up, and its really great to still see (Peter) at meets, even if it's only three times a year.

Matt Diehl

His swim (in the 50 free) was a jaw-dropper. The opportunity (to qualify for state) is there. He just has to do his part. ... He has to keep his time, if not lower it. In the 50, particularly, there's not a lot of room for mistakes, and he knows that.

Brian Dickmann

Swimming is as much psychological as it is physical.

Andy Hossler

The Black River is normally exceptionally clear; it's great for swimming and floating. Now, beyond the east fork, below the lower reservoir, it is very muddy. It has what we call a lot of turbidity. This is a concern not only for swimmers, but also for a lot of aquatic species.

Kurt Schaefer

The time was lenient for districts and that gave a lot more kids an opportunity to swim. I've watched C.J. for a couple of years and he got real focused three days ago and he planned on doing exactly what he did.

John Wilson

Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly.

Ian Thorpe

We encourage the EPA to develop standards to prevent not just bacterial but also viral illnesses from swimming in polluted waters. Right now we do not know if the standards meet both.

Nancy Stoner

I was one of seven children, and that is where we all learned to swim and became competitive swimmers.

Dolores Davis

Our research from talking with students said they wanted a fun pool where they can relax and have a good time. That's why we envisioned a leisure pool with some lap lanes. You can swim in the leisure part of the pool. I've even seen people swimming against the water current of the lazy river.

Ray Clay

Our daughter was the victim of assault, and it was a private swim coach. And had he be employed by a school, he would have been charged and he would have been punished totally different.

Carol Thompson

We want them to have fun. We have our section leaders hold at least five sectional rehearsals during the summer and we encourage two of those to be totally social such as going bowling or swimming together. This should be a very fun time of their lives and we want to them to enjoy this time.

Paul Clark

We didn't swim well (last Friday), particularly in the morning session. The upside was we still were in second place. We told the guys even though we didn't match our times from district in most of the events (in the morning preliminaries), we still have a chance to do very well. They got fired up and did well in the evening session.

Kyle Goodrich

Derek told us how great it was there and it sounded like a better deal than the places we were at. We all figured we might as well play where we could be playing golf or at the swimming pool by noon.

Brian Idalski

I really appreciate swimming, because I think that it's given me everything that I have right now. I think just being able to play something like that makes you a better person, stronger and more responsible.

Sarah Reddick

God has a sense of humor. We got the sun back, but we can't swim in the water.

Ruth Hendrix

It's so over the top, with no cleanup and guys swimming in each other's soup. I've never seen anything like it.

Steve Volponi

I'm not sure about swimming yet, I haven't decided about that.

Craig Hamilton

They can place those in ornamental ponds, they can place those in abandoned swimming pools, any area that doesn't open up to a natural body of water.

Greg Olmsted

I've seen a couple shark two days ago. I saw them out there with the fins out, and there were people actually still surfing out there. Seeing the sharks, they were out there. You know, it's just the brown murky water, definitely not safe to go out there and surf or swim.

Jamie Dematoff

For me personally, I usually don't swim very fast at this point in the season, so it's encouraging to see that I can get up and go that fast when I have to. Hopefully it will all come together and I'll be even better at conference.

Liz Jones

On singing in the swimming pool: "If I can move the water, I can move the people."

Michael Bolton

I admire the kids being able to take this kind of pressure. They work for four years and everything comes down to less than 30 seconds. In other sports, there's a losers' bracket or you can work back in a second half. At some point there's redemption. In swimming it comes down to one perfect race at the exact right time.

Patti Hoch

Where there was water, you would see packs of dogs swimming.

Cory Smith

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.

Michael Phelps

Certainly, there's always the possibility of people becoming ill if they're swimming in contaminated water.

Janice Okubo

On learning to swim: I'm too big to have some woman hold my stomach and say 'Now kick your feet.'

Will Smith

They put this Darth Vader mask on his face, it was like some Rube Goldberg thing glued to this guy. It covered his face like a toilet seat. It was connected to a machine that I swear you could run a swimming pool on, and it sounded like a freight train.

Peter Farrell

It's when I swim my best, but I don't like it very much.

Danny Donnelly

She'll probably have to swim about a 1:12, ... Her best last year was 1:17, but she swam for the Aggie Swim Club this March through July and I think that's going to make a very big difference in what she accomplishes this year. You can already see the difference in her in the water. She's already in pretty good shape and she got some pretty good instruction over the summer.

Tracy Campbell

Mine showed a great deal of bone loss. I was really surprised. I'm very active physically. I'm a dancer for 51 years. I swim. I'm a vegetarian. I really lead a life that you would never expect that I would have this condition, even though my mother and my grandmother experienced it.

Debbie Reynolds

We all thought it was funny when Caitlin said her off-season training for softball (at Marist) involves a lot of swimming workouts.

Marilyn Fitzgerald

As a child he spent all of his summers up there, playing baseball and swimming. He was on the first traveling team started in seventh grade, a football team known as the Bearcats.

Thomas Morgan

A little pressure is good but we don't want it to be too much. Also, when swimmers always swim the same events, it gets a little stale after a while. We decided to mix things up.

Laura Graf

They both did very well at that level of competition. The opportunity they made for themselves -- earning a trip to states, swimming with the very best -- speaks volumes about their dedication and commitment to the sport.

Randy Pollick

I grew up seeing this creek every day and learning how to ice skate, swim, water ski, do everything on this creek. I want her to be able to do the same, but it just doesn't look like it did.

Brian White

It was hard for people to step out and say "I am homosexual" in those times, which is what they would have done were they to associate themselves with the movement by pitching in and working for it, because you had to start swimming against the current, and a very cold current it was - and very swift.

Joseph Hansen

Over half of the team had best times. And they are really, honestly not supposed to be having best times right now. Because they are swimming very, very tired and their muscles are just fatigued.

Terri Lemos

Even though Milan's pool is only three years old, Monroe broke some very impressive pool records set by some very fast swimmers. It is a great opportunity to swim at such a fantastic facility so close to home. We really appreciate Milan for inviting us to swim at their pool.

Jeremy Layman

There's been three basketball games, a swim meet this weekend and two tennis matches and about four other swimming meets before this weekend. The students are really coming out, too. It's amazing. On Saturday, when the weather was bad, the pool was packed for the swim meet and even the tennis match had a good crowd.

Marty Fuller

We're just looking for a chance to swim good again and have a shot at (the title). We're not thinking about two in a row -- what we did last year was history. We just want to win another state title.

Gary Webb

It doesn't seem to matter that this country is swimming in grossly overbuilt retail space. Retailers have become bolder with their requests [for public money].

Greg Leroy

We really just want to have our best swim at state, that is all we want to expect.

Silas Almgren

I know that he had a heart condition. The only thing I can figure is when the building collapsed he had a heart attack, because he could swim, and he would have tried to save others. He was a good person, funny and outgoing.

Rita Baldwin

If you don't win gold people feel like you haven't achieved anything and we just wanted to prove that we are fighters and that's what the swim team is all about.

Michael Klim

I want to play Division I water polo. I don't really like swimming. It's kind of boring.

Kelly Eaton

They have a very defined strategy for success at these games. They'll focus on sports where they've traditionally been strong, then they'll look to pick up opportunities in sports where they can, and maybe take a few medals from us in track and field and swimming. If you look at it, it's a very cost-effective, smart strategy.

Jim Scherr

Individuals actually qualify independently to the NCAA championship. We have a number of individuals that I think have a great opportunity in their hands to try to achieve that, which is a huge accomplishment in swimming.

Arthur Albiero

Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in that puts you totally in a situation of constant [motion] without breaks. I could play football or baseball, swim -- but there's always some kind of situation that would break my thoughts, break my concentration.

Dan Gable

Even though he was captain of the swim team in Scranton, he still came back to support his high school team.

Bill Connors

It was a terrific meet. We had our eyes on this meet for about a week and we were very excited and pumped up to swim fast today.

Mike Gavin

It's tougher than people think. The perception is often that it's a vacation, but the studies are hard, and you still have to swim, ... It's not for everyone, but it was right for me and Roland. We wouldn't have won the relay if we hadn't gone overseas. I don't think coaches here would have believed we could do it, but the US can-do spirit helped us.

Ryk Neethling

The movie is not all swimming and that was a huge goal to show outside the pool. People see me cracking jokes and go, 'I didn't know you were funny.

Ian Crocker

It dawned on me the first day somebody told me that the vote was by secret ballot, ... that people vote for their friends. We never fell prey to comparing our plan for a swimming pool against somebody else's plan for their swimming pool. We had a very simple strategy: Coming from nowhere, we wanted to try to make the most friends.

Billy Payne

I think we'll have a strong showing in sectionals. We have some strong swimmers, they swim hard and smart, and I think we'll be ready.

Mason Storm

I did it for the betterment of the children in the community. Camp is something constructive, fun and safe for kids to do. And, of course, it's affordable. A lot of the kids, because of income, are constricted. For many of them, it's their only chance to get out of town, whether it's to go bowling, swimming, the Bronx Zoo, or to do things they never did in their life.

Jenny Velez

This is the most disastrous effect on transportation I've seen, even more than the hurricane (Alicia) in the '80s, ... I-10 looks like a swimming pool for four-wheelers.

Kaylee Brown

There are seven of them, but we're able to compete with teams double and triple our size. They have to (swim multiple events).

Nicole Mancini

The ocean's going to win each and every time, unless you just really go along with the current until it pushes you out, and then you swim back to shore. If you start to fight this, that's when you're in trouble.

Dennis Wise

The biggest thing is to just get as much rest as possible. And if we can swim like we're capable of swimming, I will feel good about our chances.

David Reason

Craig finished so close in the 200 free. He had all the splits up until the last 25. It was an outstanding swim for him. He didn't make states, but it wasn't for lack of effort.

Dave Mastrantuono

It was swimming that stumped us. Everyone knows that, in water, fish are weightless.

Adrian Bejan

Alexis had an unbelievable swim, with two seconds off her best time. It was the last individual event and we really needed her to step up and place higher than her seed and she did.

Cathy Kruse

They were fast girls, and there were a lot of them, but with a swim here or a swim there, we probably could have moved up a few spots in the standings.

George Philpott

Once the embryos have developed to a certain size they actually have a fully functional set of jaws and teeth, then they swim around and cannibalize their siblings.

Nick Otway

Every SEC Championship is different because the personalities of the teams are different. The competition's different. The competition in the SEC is always fabulous. Swimming in the SEC is only going to get better, but for the moment, we're very proud to be number one.

David Marsh

We're looking to continue building our youth program and to have swim camps that draw different coaches to teach specialty strokes.

Shari Walling

There's a lot of competition between us. Being siblings and being on the same team, we get pretty competitive, especially since we swim the same stroke [butterfly]. But we do push each other to do better and work hard at practice.

Katie Cutrell

This has been the best year of swimming for me. I've really enjoyed it.

Mark Heller

I guess I have good genes. Ad my youngest sister (fourth-grader Anne) plays a little bit of everything -- soccer, basketball, swimming volleyball. She's probably going to be better than all of us.

Cory Thomasson

We're not short. We're swimming in them.

Timothy Evans

I know it wasn't just us girls. Something was nudging us to swim that day. We believe in our hearts it was God.

Julie Johnson

I'm better at swimming. I had to stick with that.

Danny Donnelly

So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'

Tim Vine

Princeton always is a big challenge for us. The Nottingham boys we have to take seriously. We're down to crunch time now. There's still some areas we have to swim better in. We're getting a good effort from the kids. That's the most important thing.

Dean Mason

It was a good swim.

Roland Schoeman

Right now, ... Europe is like a once-fit top athlete who has fallen out of shape. Instead of taking action, the athlete keeps writing new strategic plans on how to get back into shape: 'I could go running, I could go swimming,' and so on. Sometimes it feels that the European logic is: 'When I'm in better shape, I will start exercising.' .

Pekka Himanen

It's not often you get a tie in swimming. But it was a good meet.

Judd Anderson

The swimmers are swimming out of their socks.

Sharron Davies

It's tough competition. We're all swimming really well. Tomorrow is going to be very exciting.

Amber Boucher

It was nice to be swimming next to (Canada's) Mike Brown, because I knew the crowd was screaming for him, but I took some of the energy like it was for me. It was fun swimming tonight, and tomorrow looks to be even better.

Brendan Hansen

His decision to stand aside is unselfish and typifies the spirit and camaraderie within the swimming ranks.

John Coates

If they don't swim well in the morning, they'll be sitting next to me during the finals, cheering instead of swimming. We're going to load up our gun and go guns-a-blazing because we really do have a shot at winning.

Whitney Hite

The greatest attribute Michael has is an ability to swim his best when the pressure is on.

Peter Casares

We did a lot of race-pace swimming. It was far more intense than in the past.

John Casadia

I've met some of the greatest people through swimming.

Sarah Vandish

Do to surgery what 'Jaws' did to swimming in the ocean.

Joana Vicente

Calderon largely is going to sink or swim on Fox's record. The more (President) Bush makes Fox look like he got nothing from this stronger relationship he wanted with the U.S., the harder it will be for Calderon.

Jorge Castaneda

For as small of a swim team (Gunnison) is, they have some great depth. They came off a long bus ride and swam well.

Jen Zimmerman

We signed up 100 children for the Learn to Swim program that one day and those were returning patrons, those weren't new.

Tammy Polczynski

Swimming the anchor it comes down to being touched out or not. You have to step it up. It's very stressful. If you get touched out you feel like you let the entire team down. I knew this was our last chance, I wasn't going to let up.

Hali Robinson

We have to do it one step at a time. We hope a little bit more experience than last year will get us in the top 10. These kids rely on each other. People say swimming is an individual sport, but it's not at Loyola Academy.

Dennis Stonequist

It was feeling a bit tough out there tonight. A tough swim. It has been a big programme, and I'm happy with the results I got.

Grant Hackett

The bottom line is we need to do what we're capable of and swim out best times. If we don't come to swim, it's not going to be good for us.

Steve Whittington

My dad swims with me in the morning. He swims with old buddies of his. I've always had connections with swimming through my dad. My dad always tells me to reach at the finish. He's always, always reminding me.

Jake Edwards

Adult Swim is a phenomenon with young adult viewers who identify with the edgy, irreverent tone of the shows and the block. Clearly, lots of Adult Swim fans are avid gamers, and we look forward to working with Midway to make games the fans will love.

John Friend

Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.

Lionel Trilling

They like to swim and they want to win.

Melissa Gruver

It was pitch black out there so I got the family together and said a prayer, ... We decided to leave in the morning. When daylight comes we'll find a way. (The next day) we sent two guys out to find a pathway to the interstate. The ones who couldn't swim we put on a door. We had to jump a fence. It was horrible, mister.

Barbara Griffin

I really want to be a hands-on mom. We'll go to Gymboree and infant swim care and Mommy and Me classes.

Camryn Manheim

Nick is completely committed to the sport of swimming. He's very determined and his natural talent, combined with his desire to win, has brought the kid a long way.

Mark Taffe

There's no reason for our skilled workers to come back because it's like taking an instant pay cut when you get off the plane. The government is swimming in money and it's time to encourage workers back to an economy that's in dire straits on skills.

Jenny Macklin

For our relays, I was looking at the times they are swimming and comparing them to last year, and I think we can qualify all three relays.

Patti Hoch

One of the things that will be greatly missed is Mike's leadership within the national swim team.

Pierre Lafontaine

We've got the land approved through the city. It'll be in Ross City Park, just south of the swimming pool. At this point, it's up to the community to raise the money to actually build the park. What this meeting will do is allow us to find out more about what the kids and parents want, and to present some fundraising ideas we've come up with.

Dave Rogers

I definitely didn't think I was going to make it. But I knew that if I was going to die, I was going to die swimming.

Mark Hines

He couldn't run, so he did other things like swimming and the elliptical machine just to keep him in shape. We gave him rest and it basically went away.

Jess Del Bosque

We're going to miss their spirit. In swimming, sometimes you're happy to get the season over with because it's so grueling. But, when it's finally over, you get sad and miss it.

Ericka Fangiullo

The swimming was really fun and a new experience. I got to go to Universal Studios and a big mall. Emily Schwab (friend from Wisconsin) was there and a lot of my other friends on other teams.

Emily Campbell

I hope that residents of Aberdeen and surrounding areas will come watch South Dakota's best competition of swimmers and see what competitive swimming is about. People across the state are excited to compete in Aberdeen's new pool.

Elyce Kastigar

The time standards for this meet are much greater than the sectional meet. Emily continues to step up to achieve greater time standards which allows her more opportunities to swim with other swimmers across the country.
