As always, the ONTD mods are on crack and rejected my post because "it was already posted." It wasn't, but whatever. I've got a bunch of pics from Michael's day in NYC. Enjoy. And there are way more at both the sources.
Michael Phelps wants everyone in the pool.
A day after returning to the United States from his Olympic triumphs, the 14-time gold medalist jumped into a YMCA swimming pool Thursday and gave pointers to kids about their strokes.
"This is a great place to get started on my next goal, my next dream of trying to get more people involved in the sport of swimming but also more people involved in exercising," Phelps said.
Phelps joined officials from Visa, one of his sponsors, in presenting a $20,000 grant to the YMCA of Greater New York to support youth swimming programs.Scores of reporters and photographers crowded around Phelps for a news conference at the McBurney YMCA in Manhattan.Phelps answered questions politely, then changed into swimming trunks for a dip in the pool.
The 23-year-old won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics this month.
In his first 24 hours back on American soil, he appeared in New York with Tiger Woods at a golf promotional event and ate a hot dog and a pretzel from a street vendor. He also was filming a cameo for the HBO series "Entourage.
