Michael Phelps is most definatley a profesional swimmer! Pro level is Olympics and Fina worlds etc. Michael Phelps is the best swimmer in history. Amazing preformances at the olympics. Proud =]
It was the FINA award which is given to the meet's best swimmer.
I do believe Micheal Phelps is the best swimmer at swimming event's in the world.
Micheal Phelps is the worlds best swimmer. He won 8 olympic golds in Athens, and also this year, 2008, in Bejing. No one has ever won this many medals before, in history. Many agree that he is the worlds best swimmer! before phelps, grant hackett was the best. Yet if you think about it Mark Spitz was the best swimmer of all time. That's because he swam the Olymics with no goggles unlike anyone post 1976.
Overall many people would have to agree Michael Phelps (USA) is definitely the fastest swimmer in the world but their are others like Brenton Rickard (AUS) in breaststroke and the Brazilian swimmer Cesar Cielo who is definitely along side him in the Butterfly 50m.
Mark Spitz is one of the best ever mens swimmer. He won eleven Olympic gold medals. He did this through old fashioned physical training and natural abilities unlike contemporary swimmers like Micheal Phelps.THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER:Dood, Mark Spitz did win 11 gold medals, all together! Michael Phelps holds the record of 8 gold medals, Spitz did hold the record of 7, but Michael Phelps beat it, so Phelps is the best Swimmer ever.PS. Michael Phelps holds more WR's than you can count, its not all about the golds either its also about WR's and times. Phelps demolished Spitz 100 fly(Spitz-54.27) (Phelps-49.82)Your Welcome by: SwimChamp
Micheal Phelps. While Michael Phelps is by far the best overall, you can't really call him the "fastest" because there are so many events that there are different "fastest in the US" in different events.
