Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home."
Michael Phelps
A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun."
Missy Franklin
Ever wondered how exactly Olympian swimmers swim so fast? You can ask that question to anyone - your friends, your parents, your fellow teammates - and I guarantee you that most of them will reply like this:
"They practice a lot."
"They work hard."
"They started when they were very young."
Although some of those answers do apply to Olympians, they're not the only reasons why they're constantly breaking records and winning medals. One main reason is drag reduction.
