Michael Phelps eyes changes entering busy Charlotte meet

Michael Phelps‘ fiancée recently asked him if their impending move from his native Baltimore to Arizona was “really a big deal.”

“No, not really,” Phelps responded.

Phelps, who is slated to swim six events at a Pro Swim Series meet in Charlotte starting Friday, will later move across the country with longtime coach Bob Bowman, who accepted the Arizona State swimming coaching job.

“I’m somebody who loves changes,” Phelps said in a press conference Thursday. “If we do the same thing in training month after month, I get sick of it. … This is a brand-new change.
