Photo of the Week: Michael Phelps interrupts swim class, participants not amused

By Matt Stroup, Universal Sports
The women pictured to the right could apparently care less that they're in the presence of a 14-time Olympic champion.

Let's briefly put aside the fact that Michael Phelps appears to be doing some sort of magical meditative technique that allows him to levitate upon the surface of the water.

    The week's most amusing (Sept. 28)

    A look back at the most entertaining photos of the week.

The real story in this photo, as far as we're concerned, is that Phelps -- who visited Chelsea Piers on Tuesday for a run/swim combo with Apolo Ohno -- is interrupting swim class. And the women seated to the right are not amused.

Look at their facial expressions. The woman wearing black is still in a state of stunned shock, wondering not what the most prolific Olympic champion in history is about to do in the pool, but rather asking herself when this guy is going to get out so she can get in.

Meanwhile, the woman on the right is beyond stunned disbelief -- she knows exactly what's going on, and she does not like it.

Hopefully your facial expressions won't mimic those of the two swim class participants when you check out our complete gallery of the week's most amusing photos right here.
