Olympic legend Michael Phelps is the greatest we've ever seen in the water.

Well, for a human.

According to a press release from Discovery Channel, Phelps will race a great white shark as part of Shark Week on July 23:

"They are one of the fastest and most efficient predators on the planet: Sharks. He is our greatest champion to ever get in the water: Michael Phelps. 39 world records. 23 Olympic golds. But he has one competition left to win. An event so monumental no one has ever attempted it before. The world?s most decorated athlete takes on the ocean?s most efficient predator: Phelps V Shark ? the race is on!"

They just wanted an excuse to put him on TV in his little speedo because shark week has low ratings for women viewers..

How are they going to get the shark to stay in his lane and not eat Phelps?

Easy, Phelps just has to swim faster.

He is faster than the shark
