As he prepares to relocate from Baltimore to Tempe, Ariz., for training, Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps is looking forward to working on his tan and soaking up the sunshine vitamin in the desert heat.

“It’s going to be different,” Phelps said. “I get my Vitamin D year-round, which is nice. I get to be tan all year, which is also nice. But I’m somebody who loves changes. If we do the same thing in training month after month, I get sick of it.”

We’ll see if a little sunshine makes all the difference in the 2016 Olympics in Beijing. If nothing else, we’re sure Michael will be looking good!
