Fans call me the king of the water. I'm focused, driven, and, most importantly, I win. Life as a professional swimmer comes with sacrifices, but they’ve never worried me.

Allowing any change in my life could put my goals and dreams in jeopardy, and I’ve worked too hard and too long for them.

Theirs had always been a life full of music - the Grohl family sang together on long car trips, harmonising to Motown and David Bowie - yet Virginia never expected her son to become a musician.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing.
