    Michael Phelps said Saturday he’s back in the pool a couple of times a week, but he’s nowhere near ready for a return to competitive swimming.

    Rumors about Phelps reversing his retirement picked up steam after he entered the drug-testing pool for international competition before the Nov. 6 deadline.

    He was sighted recently at the Arena Grand Prix in Minneapolis, cheering on his roommate Conor Dwyer, who won a gold medal for the 4×200 freestyle relay at the 2012 Olympics.

    But that doesn’t mean Phelps is in the shape that helped him win an all-time record 18 gold medals and 22 total medals in his Olympic career.

    “[Dwyer] swims the [400-meter IM], that’s too long. I can’t do that. I literally don’t think if I jumped in the water right now, I could finish a 400.”
