“I grew up around the pool with my sisters. Both of my sisters swam. I was always there. So I thought, why not? My mom put us in the water for water safety, so we were comfortable in the water in case anything ever happened. I learned that way, and started liking it more and more.” WayWaterCasesHappenedGrewMomComfortableGrew UpSafetyMy MomWhy NotMy SisterPoolWater Safety Author:Michael Phelps
“The first scene I ever appeared in, it was the first scene I ever shot [during my] first day on set. I walk up to my mom with a plastic bag over my head and she says that her clothes better not be on the floor, not that a plastic bag is not a safety hazard or anything. I think it's a really cute scene and also just a very vivid memory.” ThinkingFirstsMemoriesWalksMomSceneClothesShotsSafetyMy MomCuteBagsPlasticVividHazardsPlastic BagsReally CuteVivid Memories Author:Kiernan Shipka
