My memoir OUTSIDE THE LANES is now available for pre-order and out April 1st! I’m really proud of this book—it shows what you don’t see about being an elite athlete as a young child, and I hope it will inspire you to chase the impossible. https://t.co/v1fD9vY9kt

Didn’t see a single shark during my decade long open water swimming career or my 21 hour channel swim, but today I FINALLY saw a 5 foot whitetip reef shark hanging out with a turtle in the middle of the ocean and it was one of the best moments of my life

SO HAPPY for @arschmitty, the true embodiment of an Olympian. The first time I met her in the 2012 ready room, she offered to help me put my cap on, she’s way too peppy at 5:52 AM, and always lets me borrow her car and steal her clothes. @TeamUSA is SO lucky to have her again!
.@arschmitty takes second to secure her spot to become a 4️⃣-time Olympian! @USASwimming | #SwimTrials21 x #TokyoOlympics

Just when I thought I couldn’t love @AlexMeyerSwims more
. @AlexMeyerSwims sent me this text before the 10K Olympic qualifying race this past summer at Worlds. He said it perfectly, and I’m sharing it now, in the hopes it can lift someone the way it did (and continues to do) for me ❤️ we need love more than ever right now

At 30 years old, Ashley Twichell will make her Olympic debut in 2020 after qualifying in the open-water 10K. Don't be surprised if she earns a spot in the pool, too.

Forgot to mention—it was so rough, the waves tipped the kayak. It was the first time it’s happened to Shelley, who was an Olympic kayaker and has been on tens of channel crossings. I wondered where she went, but kept swimming & didn’t realize it had happened till it was over.
