    Michael Phelps has been linked with Speedo throughout his swimming career, most notably collecting a $1 million bonus after he won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games.

    Now, as he comes back from retirement, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history will have a different look.

    Phelps announced Tuesday that he has signed a deal with Aqua Sphere, a company that has extensive experience with triathlons and recreational swimming but will be designing a racing suit for the first time.

    “Throughout my career, I’ve been able to do a lot of things with Speedo. The relationship was great,” Phelps told The Associated Press. “But we came to a point where we had an opportunity to really change the sport and grow the sport even more.”

    Village officials are working to remove a family of Canada geese from a popular swimming pond.

    The pond in Cedar Park is a hot spot in Bonduel for families to cool off.

    The man-made swimming hole is fed by a natural spring, and the clear water attracts plenty of visitors.

    “I think this is very nice we bring the kids here a couple times a month because it’s quiet, it’s clean,” said Kathy Hagen visiting with family for a swim and picnic.

    But the latest visitors–Canada geese–are not welcome.
