“I don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.” — Ryan Lochte Quote

I don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.

My whole family swims! You can pretty much say chlorine runs in our veins.

Something will pop up in my head. It could be like the weirdest thing. Like all'a sudden like I have like a jumping banana in my head.

The swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?

I've always been honest with all my kids. So I - if they did well, they did well. And if they didn't, actually, I asked, did you try your best? And if they tried their best, then, you know, I back out because I expect them to be honest with me or with themselves. And I can't make you go out there and work out hard.

I try not to be a typical athlete.

I learned a lot from my father. I'm very lucky to have a father who was a professional athlete.

The whole Miami Heat team is my least my favorite athlete. Why? Because they keep beating my Pacers.

I was wearing Shaq's shoes, LeBrons, and KDs. I think that was because signature shoes are a way to connect with your favorite athlete. If you wear what they wear, you feel like you can play like them.

I wouldn't say I'm a phenomenon, just a great athlete.
