"I was just totally mesmerized by the beauty of the people swimming and it was just a beautiful thing. I just fell in love with it," said [Mueller]. "I started doing it and I was like 'wow, this is amazing.'"

"We've been training the entire summer, training every day," said Mueller. "We're doing really hard workouts trying to get ready for this. It's a really big deal to make the national team, so we're really excited."

"It's just knowing that when you're swimming that everybody's watching you. You're putting on a show and you're showing everybody your ability in the pool and your strength in synchro."
