As for her son, Michael Phelps recently announced he has resumed training at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, but Phelps has not said if he wants to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil.

“Where that leads him, I don’t know, I’m hoping it leads to Brazil,” Debbie Phelps told WBAL News.

“Michael has a love for his sport, a passion for his sport. I’m supporting him all the way, as his Mom. I’m not a helicopter Mom, but I’ll always be there with all three of my children, and my two grandchildren.”
