DISTANCE CHANGE
He swam long distance early in his career but almost quit swimming because he was unhappy with his results and felt he was not getting any advantage from his height. He was about 170cm tall at age 14. With encouragement from his coach Zhu Zhigen he stayed and then grew more than 20cm. He then switched to short distance swimming. "I love swimming from very early on, but without coach Zhu Zhigen, I wouldn't be where I am today. In the past few years, my weight grew significantly, my strength got stronger and then faster. Because I was a long distance swimmer before and switched to short distance swimming, I have better stamina."
