Dear Mr. Phelps,

My name is Sadie, and I'm a kid who wants to learn how to swim. I don't know how to swim yet, but I've heard you would be a good person to teach me. Will you be my coach? Mommy says that even though you go to University of Michigan, you will be returning to Baltimore. Baltimore is a nice place to live. I like it here. But I really would like to learn how to swim. Mommy also said you won a lot of gold medals (that must have been really, really hard) and that you are a very nice male specimen (whatever that means.) I hope we can meet soon.

Your biggest fan,

Sadiebug- future Olympic hopeful in the doggie paddle.
