Hinting that Boomer had got his swimming skills from him, Phelps implied how Boomer loved being in the pool. Interestingly, Boomer was just two years old when Phelps spoke to Access in this interview in 2018. Phelps narrated an interesting anecdote about Boomer.
The Baltimore Bullet recounted that he had gone to take his son Boomer for a swim in the pool. While Boomer was swimming and doing the butterfly stroke, suddenly, he looked at his father and told him to swim. “So he gets it”, Phelps added, referring to Boomer’s swimming abilities.
It looks like Boomer has inherited his father’s athletic genes successfully. It is probably only a matter of time before we start watching the youngster earn his name in his own right.
