Though there are rumors that he might still swim in Tokyo, legendary Olympian Michael Phelps says that he's officially retired from swimming. 

He's leaving on quite the high note: Phelps won a lot of new hardware in Rio, bringing his career total to 28 medals, 23 of which are gold.

But it seems Phelps couldn't stay away out of the water for too long. Wednesday, he shared a photo on Instagram showing him relaxing in a pool with his son Boomer and his fiancée Nicole Johnson.

"There's nothing like being back home!!" he wrote in the caption. "Great way to spend my first day in retirement!!"
