Goodness gracious! It took you long enough. LOL

Are you saying that Phelps was actually enrolled as a student at U-M? IIRC, he has trained there for the past 4 years because his life long coach, Bob Bowman, was the swim coach for the past 4 years. I think Phelps volunteered as Coach Bowman's assistant but I'm not sure he was ever a student there. Anyhow, that brief sojourn is now over, Phelps and Bowman are heading back home to Baltimore and will open their own coaching and training facility for swimmers.
