OK - the Trials have just begun and the Olympics are a mere weeks away.
Michael Phelps has said this is his last Olympics and he'll retire from swimming after this event.
So => What do you think he'll probably do? Right now he trains by swimming at least twice a day and probably lifts weights too.
So - will he probably take a week off after the games and not swim? A month? Longer?
What do high-profile swimmers like this do when they retire. I know Rowdy Gaines is a champion masters swimmer but I'm just curious what happens.
I'm guessing he'll have to stay in some kind of shape to work on his foundation and attend public appearances.
Depends how things go for him in London. Right now it looks like Lochte is likely to rule the pool across the pond.
After the Olympics, Michael will take a break from training and keep in shape. He will do his post olympics commitments. Spend a lot of time in Vegas, NYC, Miami, & LA. Date many beautiful women. In a matter of months or maybe years he'll get bored. He's not likely to find anything where he will be as great as he was in swimming. I would be surprised to see him do a comeback for 2016 or 20
