Living at a swimming pool twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred sixty-five days a year is rough, AND, smelling like one is even worse. I have no one better to agree with me than Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps is an awesome swimmer and I would love to spend a day with him. He could teach me how to swim better and help me with drills. Spending a day with Michael Phelps would be amazing because he is a nice person, could fix my strokes, and I could observe what an Olympic swimmer eats.

Who wouldn’t think he’s dreamy? Furthermore, just that time period in general interests me. And of course the fame. The fame alone drives me to want to spend a day with Elvis.
