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

That's a good thing.
May be a good thing but now I need to get over my sense of pride and get out of the swim trunks, I am guessing after reading through other posts. My wife says she won't ever go watch me in a meet if I wear a speedo :) It's not that I am huge.. I can definitely lose 15 lbs (5'11 195lbs) but it's not like I'd be parading around a beach (I wouldn't even have the nerve to do that anyway)... Maybe Jammers will be a good compromise...
