General
SWIMMING ABROAD
He believes that the opportunity of attaining a scholarship in the USA can be beneficial for every swimmer. "For swimmers going over the United States, they are given scholarships and the opportunity to race almost every weekend. And at the end of their four years, they come out with a good degree. Until South African universities are able to offer scholarships to swimmers, I believe swimmers are better suited training in the US." (sealskzn.co.za, 27 Jul 2010)
POSSIBLE RETIREMENT
He admits he thought about retiring after competing at the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
"The moment I really didn't want to swim any more was after Commonwealth Games in 2006, where I swam really poorly. I then had to go swim the NCAA championships. I again swam very badly, but what made it worse was my coach told me I wasn't trying and basically that I sucked. To have someone tell you that is the worst thing an athlete can hear." (sealskzn.co.za, 27 Jul 2010)
SWIMSUITS
He is a supporter and proponent of swimsuits. "My opinion on the suits is that they should be allowed to stay. I think FINA needs to regulate new advancements in technology a little better from now on. But for FINA to say at the end of the year we are going to go back to fully 'woven' suits, is a major step back for swimming. Yes the new suits have wiped out what many previous great swimmers have done, that is, their records. But the suits haven't taken away their medals or placings at major competitions. They are all still national heroes in their respective countries and idols to many of us."
