What can you say about Michael Phelps in the swimming pool that has not been said? Michael Phelps, the best that ever was, maybe the best that ever will be? In Olympic and in swimming terms, he may well be. What he has done in terms of Olympic medals, World Championship Medals, and World Records is hard to beat.

Phelps won 22 Olympic Medals, 18 of those Gold, he won 33 World Championship Medals, 26 of those Gold, and over his swimming career, he set 39 world records. Has anyone else in the swimming pool at the world level done this? Do you have thoughts to share on Michael? Share them here!
