He is returning to swimming after a 20-month retirement and will swim the 100-meter butterfly at the Arena Grand Prix.
This will be his first competition since retiring after the 2012 London Games.
“Just being able to get back into that mentality of competition, that’s one thing I really loved the most about it when I was really competing in 2012 and throughout my career,” he said after practice Wednesday.
“That’s something I’m looking forward to experiencing.”
