How would you describe your swim style when not competing?
Definitely sexier. I love Brazilian cuts and one-pieces that have higher cuts. I take more swimsuit style risks when I'm looking for a fun suit!
What are some of your warm-up routines or pre-competition rituals? Is twerking still part of your warm-up?
I definitely like to zone out and get excited by making a great playlist and blasting my headphones. I try not to talk to anyone and focus. I like to do jumping jacks, stretches, and get loosened up for the events, and I'm known to get lost and dance a little!
How do you stay in shape year-round?
I make time for fitness and put it as a priority, and do something active every day even if I'm traveling or in a hotel. My girl favorite workouts are taking a spin class, and doing Pilates. I like group classes because it's always more fun working out with a friend or having other people around to motivate me!
