"
We started swimming together when
we were around 4 and 5 years old. …
It's very surreal to think about us —
you know we have so many memories
in the pool from when we were kids,
just enjoying the water — and to think
about someone coming up to us and
telling us, 'Hey, you guys are going to
be internationally renowned athletes
with a partnership with the largest
retailer of swimsuits in the world' —
it's crazy really.
