It doesn't matter if you look different. You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.

I just want to be myself and go for my own dreams and goals.

It's been a dream for me since I was six years old to go to the Olympic Games and to finally have that dream realised is something massive for me.

If I'm able to go out there and achieve a dream, then anybody can do it.

Swimming is my passion and something that I love. Going out there in the water, it feels as if there's nothing wrong with me. I go out there and train as hard as anybody else. I have the same dreams, the same goals. It doesn't matter if you look different. You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.

To be here, is a dream come true. A dream is something that you set for yourself, not what other people set for you. When I qualified in Seville I burst into tears. I couldn't believe that I was going to the Olympic Games.
