Amanda Beard Swimming Quotations

I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.

The swimming community is really conservative. I don't know why, because we're in no clothing whatsoever.

In swimming, everyone calls me grandma, because I'm the oldest there. Then with my friends, I'm the youngest and I'm the baby. It's definitely bizarre.

Id go to swim practice, put my face in the water, and I didnt have to talk to anybody. Swimming was like my escape, but it was also like this huge prison because I felt like I had to swim up to peoples standards.
