I am also hugely excited to then be competing to defend my three Paralympic titles at the Paralympic Games. I believe we will see some amazing times posted and I am very much looking forward to what will be an incredible Olympics and Paralympics in London.

I'm still a Welsh girl at heart so I'm staying in the U.K. for the Olympics it's such an exciting time for Britain so it's amazing to be a part of it.

I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.

This is my 20th year in the sport. I've known swimming and that's it. I don't want to swim past age 30 if I continue after this Olympics and come back in 2016 I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence.
