Michael Phelps said he is looking to swim some new events, but is being very secrative about it. Anyone want to throw out a guess as to what those events are? I would consider the following "his" events: 200 free, 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 back, and maybe the 100 free.
My guess is the 400 free and maybe the 50 free or 100 back. I can't see him becoming a breaststroker. So that leaves the shorter back race and free.
Anyone else?

A breaststroker, really? Obviously the kid is dang fast in all four strokes but *** is definitely his weakest. Of course I am sure he works it all the time to get better at the IM, but I would be surprised if he started swimming the 200 ***, not that I don't think he couldn't.
Be surprised! He just announced his schedule for the American Short Course Championships and the newest edition is the 200 ***!! The other surprising thing...he's not swimming either of the fly events.
