"I'm not naturally talented, I have to work hard to do well." "Some of my results are the result of my love for the sport. It's kind of a love/hate relationship.

One with the swim club, and one with my friends here at school." In spite of all the races and competitions she has en tered, Roberta still becomes nervous before a race.
