Phelps is well on his way to his ambitious goal of "changing the sport of swimming." But despite Michael's pre-eminence in the pool, his story is not a swimming diary but a tale of adversities overcome and redemption through persistence. This new softcover edition contains a substantial update, as Phelps reflects on his life since his record-setting performance in Athens. The Olympic star reflects on his November 2004, DUI arrest. He recalls his experiences as a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Phelps also takes readers poolside for his record-setting 2007 performance in Australia and shares his thoughts heading into the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. Average Rating:

I did sometimes find myself day dreaming when reading his pr & wr times. I'm sure the times would be more interesting to a swimmer as I am not. But overall I thought this was a really good book. Rating: - great readThis is a great read. My swimming granddaughter used this book as a report and she really enjoyed reading about Michael's life from his prospective. Rating: - Great Read of a Personal Story.This is a good read. There is a little bit of swimming jargon that the non-swimming fan may get caught up in- but the story so surpasses that - so you don't notice much.
