"I never thought I would have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. It was not on my [bucket list]." Oleksiak described her eight-day hike as a rewarding experience of physical challenge and cultural immersion.
Oleksiak emphasized the importance of balancing her life outside swimming. "Trying to have a life outside of swimming is important. I think that helps a lot with loving [the sport]."
Speaking about her charity work, Oleksiak said, "It was an incredible experience. To be disconnected from [the outside world], to meet the people [of East Africa]... was cool."
"I'm excited to get back to racing more," Oleksiak said, looking forward to competing at the upcoming short course championships in Budapest with her team.
