I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

Obviously for water safety, you want to learn just to be comfortable in the water that's the main goal. I think the second that you start freaking out and feeling uncomfortable, it's not going to go well.
Michael Phelps
