Aaron Schools Phelps in Charlotte

2009.06.02
Posted by Oceana

Aaron is back in the news, even though the 2012 Summer Olympics are a ways off. At the Charlotte UltraSwim a few weeks ago, he defeated Michael Phelps in the 100-meter backstroke.

Watch video of the race and hear what Aaron had to say about it:

"I was getting texts and emails from people I hadn't heard from in a long time saying congratulations," said Peirsol. "I got more attention from this meet than most national meets that we go to."
