AS he has before every Arena Grand Prix meet that he\u2019s competed in this year, Michael Phelps held a press conference to talk about the goals, expectations and concerns that lie ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Phelps is entered in four events in the meet, and based on comments he and coach Bob Bowman made, Phelps will swim the 100 free, 200 free, 100 fly and 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just kind of experimenting,\u201d Bowman said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch video of the press conference below.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"470\" height=\"264\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cFmujAC5MQY?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Phelps made an amusing comment in the press conference that alluded to his return to the sport more than a year after the 2012 Olympics, saying that swimming is where he belongs most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a part of my whole entire life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m just happy to be back in the pool, whether it\u2019s competing or just working out for exercise. As much as I say I can\u2019t wait to be done and can\u2019t wait to be out of the pool, I think that\u2019s just a lie. As much as I try to stay away from the sport as long as I can, something keeps drawing me back to the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowman also gave more insight into the elite training group at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, which just completed a rigorous month-long training session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that it\u2019s changed what he does,\u201d Bowman said of Phelps\u2019 training. \u201cProbably how he does it has changed because there\u2019s more competition. And there\u2019s certainly more energy on a daily basis to go much faster. It has its pluses and minuses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arena Grand Prix &#8211; Santa Clara editorial coverage is proudly sponsored by Arena USA.
