During my days as a soccer player, my teammates used to call me 'Touch' because I have a touch of blonde hair on my forehead which is a birth mark. But now swimming is my favourite sport.
When I'm alone in my hotel room in some foreign place, I feel very lonely. Then I tuck into my favourite chocolate - Chuckles or Whispers - for some comfort.
I don't lift weights. I do fitness exercises to stay strong.
I realise every swimmer has a shelf life. No, I haven't given any thought to when I will retire, but I also know I won't be able to swim forever.
I have played football all my life, and my dad went to see Manchester United in 2005. Since then, I have been a fan.
I want to get faster every year, keep my confidence high, so I can continue dominating my main events and extend my range to other freestyle and medley races.
