Team USA’s Olympic swimming squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro earlier this week and has already taken to the Olympic Aquatics Stadium for their first practice. Among the stars taking their first splash is 22-time Olympic medalist and newly-minted U.S. Opening Ceremony flag bearer, Michael Phelps.
Get a glimpse into his first dip in the Rio pool, as Phelps tackles his 5th consecutive Olympic Games.

I LIKE TURTLES
????I LIKE TURTLES????
It appears the only way the other swimmers will get any coverage is to stick to Michael like glue. Good job Allison. Lol
He isn’t showing his own brand of swimwear. Surprising.
Except for his cap and goggles….
Yes he is, front of the cap, you can see ot in the first pic
Yes he is?
He’s definitely wearing his goggles and cap, and in the shot of him taking off from the blocks, the MP trademark is visible.
Except for his suit, goggles and cap
Yes he is. The MP logo is on his swim brief.
He must workout
His body is so lean and yet extremely well-defined it’s incredible
You can definitely tell his diet has played an important role to where he is right now….literally no fat on him right now!
Would love to see pictures of other US swimmers too!
This is idolatry
I agree, this is ridiculous. Did Rio2016.com only provide photos of Phelps? Were they unable to photoshop Schmitt out of the photo of the two of them walking together? Was it that impossible to come up with a collection with a few group shots and change the title to “Michael, Ryan, Missy, and Katie join the US squad for their first swim practice in Rio”? You can plug your 4 stars without ignoring the vast majority of the team.
I’m sure you’ll see them trickle out more photos. Relax
