Tonight, he came back out of retirement for one more race. He wasn&#8217;t racing in Budapest at the World Championships. He wasn&#8217;t at a club meet out in Arizona. He wasn&#8217;t racing the 200 IM at Speedo Sectionals.<\/p>\n<p>Nope. He was racing in South Africa against a Great White Shark on the Discovery Channel as part of Shark Week.<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually it was a computer generated avatar, based on speeds measured earlier in the show while the shark was chasing a seal. The shark finished 100 meters of swimming at 36.1 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps wore a full body wet suit, similar to what Ian Thorpe used to wear in his heyday. The suit was to help Phelps swim in the 56 degree Fahrenheit water, some 24 degrees cooler than normal Olympic pools. Phelps also wore a monofin to mimic the tail of the shark.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps swam the 100m distance underwater, only coming up for a few breaths, and finished in 38.1 seconds to finish second to the shark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like taking silver medals, but I\u2019ll take one to a great white,\u201d said Phelps after the race.<\/p>\n<p>The South African shark had to have revenge on its mind after its countryman\u00a0<strong>Chad Le Clos\u00a0<\/strong>lost to Phelps last summer in the 200 fly. The race was not FINA approved so the shark&#8217;s time will not count as a world record, despite its following of the Lochte rule during the race. However, the shark surfaced after 15 meters so its time may not have counted anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps was not opposed to a rematch, as he tweeted after the race that he wanted to swim in &#8220;warmer water&#8221; next time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rematch?
