The Swimmer

I have a very good friend who told me to know your body, know yourself — what makes you happy, healthy, angry. That always stayed with me. That helped me a lot.

But there’s not much in my life I would change. If you’re relaxed in your mind, and happy, that brings you health. You don’t need too many things in life.

What lessons can people learn from your experience?

Don’t give yourself an option to give up. I never thought about quitting. If I invest mentally, I don’t quit.
