I have has the chance to experience and learn so much from touring around the world, releasing albums, performing on Broadway, publishing a work of poetry, traveling with and speaking at the United Nations on environmental and oceanic matters and much worse. For this I will be forever grateful.”

“Now almost 10 years later, here I am once more. For years I had been fueled by the silent fire in my stomach of returning to the sport of swimming, with the idea that 2020 would be the year I’d try training again,” he revealed. “After only 5 months back in the water with my incredible coach @hawkbr, I was able to take out a win and secure a spot at next years Australian Olympic trial in the 100 fly.”

I’m looking forward to seeing where this all takes me on the long road ahead!,” he concluded the post with.
