Phelps, the 18 Olympic gold medallist, returned to competition in April after a retirement that lasted nearly two years and finished this month&rsquo;s US Championships without a title. Phelps (29) will contest the 200 metres individual medley and the 100 metres butterfly.
&ldquo;Losing by a hundredth (of a second) and by five one-hundredth at the (US) nationals was frustrating. But I&rsquo;m taking it a lot slower now because I need to give my body time to get back and build up,&rdquo; he said.
