"I was a very athletic kid. My parents took me to the swimming pool to channel my energy, as I was a hyperactive child. I did tennis and athletics at the same time, but I stayed in swimming because I liked the contact with the water. I liked that it was an individual sport, as I could not easily communicate in the team. After I won some medals, I can say that swimming chose me. I think my love for water kept me in the pool."
