Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian, ditched his Speedos and signed a new endorsement deal with swimsuit maker Aqua Sphere.
Phelps, who came out of retirement in April after winning a record 18 Olympic gold medals, has worn Warnaco Group Ltd.s Speedo swimsuits since turning professional at the age of 16.
Aqua Sphere is a producer of swimwear and accessories for triathletes and fitness swimmers that has not made racing suits before. The company, which began in Genoa, Italy, in 1998, will work with Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, to develop products that are accessible to a broad range of swimmers, from professional to recreational, it said in a news release.
There is an opportunity to help make the sport more inviting to others by recognizing that everyone begins at different levels, requires assistance matching their skills with products, and lacks the appropriate context in order to maximize their swimming experience, Phelps said in a statement.
Contract terms werent disclosed. Phelpss deal with Speedo expired at the end of 2013. His contract with Vista, California-based Aqua Sphere runs through 2022, according to the Sports Business Journal.
Phelps won six gold medals at the Athens Games in 2004, broke Mark Spitzs record for golds at a single Olympics with eight in Beijing in 2008 and added four more in London in 2012.
By matching Spitzs record of seven gold medals in Beijing, he was awarded a $1 million bonus from Speedo.
Having won a record 22 Olympic medals, he retired at the age of 27. He returned more than 18 months later, saying he changed his mind because he missed the sport.
The 29-year-old is signed up to compete in four events at the U.S. national championships this week in Irvine, California. The swim meet will determine U.S. roster sports for the Aug. 21-25 Pan Pacific Championships in Australia, which then help determine the U.S. team for next years world championships in Kazan, Russia.
Phelps has said he isnt sure whether he wants to swim at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

ST. LOUIS There was no pass-the-hanky moment, no catch in the voice, no its getting dusty in here moment with John Lackey yesterday.
In fact, after spending a few hot and sticky and uncomfortable minutes with Lackey in the Cardinals home dugout, it sure felt as if he had not only turned the page on his 412-year Red Sox career about three seconds after the trade went down last Thursday, but that he had already begun reaching to turn that page well before the trade.
Lackey paused for two seconds and looked out into the mid-summer haze when asked if he was hoping to get traded.
Im not going to go that far, he finally said. I wasnt surprised.
Lackey was on guard for the interaction with a group of media comprised mainly of Bostonians, eager to get Lackeys take on the trade. He had not taken out an ad in any newspapers to express his thoughts and feelings (if any), and nobody who had contact with his shallow New England roots had sought out his opinion since last Thursday.
While former rotation mate Jon Lesters name was in trade talks for what felt like weeks if not months, Lackeys name did not surface until three or four days before the big day. Besides his strong performance last year and so far this season, Lackey had the added bonus of costing only $500,000 next season. That pittance had much to do with Lackeys high trade value.
Before the Cardinals would do the deal, however, they needed assurance from Lackey that he would indeed play for that amount and not just walk away.
Lackey gave them his word.
But when asked if he would have given the same word to the Red Sox, Lackey got squirrelly about the topic.
I dont know about that honestly. I didnt get that far ahead to think about it at that point, Lackey said.

A grandmother who used to eat 4,000 calories a day and weighed twice as much as a baby elephant shed more than 20st after she overheard a nurse say to a colleague: 'If I ever get that fat, shoot me'.
Sue Callear tipped the scales at a 35st at her heaviest and was classed as super-morbidly obese - meaning she could have died at any time.
The 50-year-olds body mass index (BMI) was a staggering 79 - almost four-and-a-half times the recommended 18.5 for a healthy adult.

She even had to make her own clothes using two-and-a-half metres of material.
Sue also broke several beds and had to use special heavy-duty handrails to drag herself upstairs at her home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.
