Will Michael Phelps Ever Swim Professionally Again? Find Out What He Said!

Michael Phelps hung up his swimming cap after the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

However, the 36-year-old champion isn’t fully writing off swimming in his future.

Click inside to see what Michael shared about hitting the pool once again someday…

Speaking with press during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which are being held right now, Michael opened up about if he’d return to professional swimming again and the answer was yes, but only on one condition.

“If I did come back, it would be in L.A.,” Michael shared about the possibility.

However, he was quick to clarify that he was “not coming back now — don’t get any ideas! I don’t know. I have no desire to get in the water right now. I’m completely happy.”

Michael did say that if any of his sons, Maverick, 22 months, Beckett, 3, or Boomer, 5 — “at some point ask why I’m not competing, we’ll see what the answer is then…anything for my kids.”

He’s currently in Tokyo cheering on Team USA swimmers as they compete in the international sporting competition.
