“Michael’s vision is to increase swimming in the US"

Ok - Phelps is at the top of his career and his popularity - How could he (or anybody else working with him) help to improve swimming in the United States ?
What do we need - grassroot swimcamps ? A Michael Phelps US swimming tour ? Phelps racing various people around the country ?
Can we get 5000 people into a pool + TV coverage for a Lochte + Peirsol vs Phelps showdown ? I am certain Track and Field will have some big money races in Europe following the Olympis. How much would somebody pay to have Phelps race Cavic in 3 weeks ?
I don't think you have to be a jerk to be popular, Usain Bolt is getting a great reaction by being light and relaxed and fun.
My initial gut reaction (which is probably too harsh) is that Bolt was being a jerk when he started to celebrate 1/2 second before finishing his 100m.
