Michael Phelps at Gold Gala fundraiser: ‘NBAC is always our home’
Michael Phelps laughed as his mind drifted back over years of agonizing training sessions, blowout arguments with coaches and shared jokes with friends.
He worked out at the Meadowbrook Aquatic Center in Mount Washington for perhaps the final time on Saturday morning as he prepares for a fifth Olympics this summer.
Phelps was in town for the Countdown to Gold Gala, a fundraiser for the North Baltimore Aquatic Club, where the record-setting Olympian has trained for most of his career.
“My family has had a long history with this club,” he said before the dinner. “For us, NBAC is always our home.”

Schuyler Bailar, NCAA’s first openly transgender swimmer, tells ‘60 Minutes’ he made ‘the right choice’
Schuyler Bailar dives in.
Among the first openly transgender collegiate swimmers in U.S. history, Bailar tells his story to “60 Minutes†Sunday.
Bailar was a top swimmer, with a mean breast stroke. She was also a terrific student when Harvard recruited her.
Since then, Bailar has become a man — and is the first transgendered athlete to compete in a NCAA Division I men’s sport.
Now 19, he swims on the men’s team. Bailar has not won a race since transitioning, and is fine with that.
