Phelps sets sights on London Olympics.[Xinhua]

Having spent the last year churning through thousands of laps to get in shape for Beijing, Phelps is planning to take the next few months off to re-charge his batteries, travel the world and catch up with his friends.

Phelps's next major assignment is the 2009 world championships in Rome where he plans to unveil a new programme that could lay the foundations for his 2012 London schedule.
