Swimming is my escape, no one talks to me: Michael Phelps

For Michael Phelps, water is home. “When I’m grouchy, my wife tells me to jump in the pool, the only place where no one talks to me, and I don’t have to think,” he said. The most decorated Olympian began swimming as an angry 7-year-old. “Water was my escape, and I ended up falling in love with it,” Phelps added.
