Beijing, China - “Winning eight gold medals was hard. This is a bigger challenge,” said Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps today. Phelps said the swim will raise money for swimming programs and community center development in underprivileged neighborhoods. “Oprah is as excited about it as I am. We hope to raise several million for community swim programs. She will be on a surfboard but I don’t expect to set any speed records,” said Phelps.
