I think this will push us to want to swim faster at championships. We've seen some of their best swims and we know what to expect. I'll get to race him (O'Connor) at championships, it'll be fun.
It's a swimsuit calendar. And you have girls in swimsuits in the calendars. There might be somebody who looks at it and says, 'My son is 12, and it's not right.' We just didn't want to take a chance. We are not trying to offend anyone or upset anyone.
