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?

Phelps is seeded with his 500 yard free time. At 4:12, it's definitely not a "sandbag" time, but rather just a way to get him a little more rest in prelims. USS encourages people to enter using cut times from a conforming course (long course here), but does not require it. I also believe that once the Olympic Trial cuts have been set, people making them have the option to enter a real time, or just enter national events at the trial cut. It'd be nice to have to make that choice!
I second Bob's motion for coming to the NE meet. I'm just kicking myself because I realize that I'm going to be swimming in many of the heats with Mike Ross & Jim Harvey, so I won't get to watch anything but their kick as they go by!
