"He [Boomer] always wants to be in the pool… his kick is absolutely insane. He's got the shoulder flexibility like dad does, so we'll see," said Phelps.

Phelps added he is waiting for the day when his son asks him: 'Dad, when are you going to swim again and compete again?' "So, I'm waiting and I'm preparing myself for that question," he said.
