I think that it's going to do me a lot of good and do a lot of other people some good to see that we can do an awful lot. If we take that potential we have and don't accept limitations. I want to do it for that reason -- I want to do it because I love the water. I like swimming, I like to be in the ocean. It feels good to me to be free in the water because I'm some what confined in a wheelchair."
