Michael Phelps seems to be enjoying his life in retirement.

After winning 28 Olympic medals, he now seemingly has more endorsements than ever, he has more time to golf, and spends a lot of time just hanging out with his family, including his son Boomer. 

He's even planning to race a shark!

Phelps turned 32 on Friday, and while he says he is done winning Olympic medals, there are still a lot of people holding out hope for one more sprint towards glory at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

In the meantime, let's take a look back at his storied career.

Phelps started swimming when he was 7, and by the time he was 10 he was setting American age-group records. Many of those records from Phelps’ youth still stand.
