INDIANAPOLIS -
The nation's top swimmers are in Indianapolis for five days of competition at the IU Natatorium.
The elite men and women, some who were gold medal stars at the London Olympics practiced downtown Monday for the Phillips 66 National Championships, which start Tuesday.
The swimmers are vying for spots on the United States team that will compete in the World Championships in Spain next month.
Ryan Lochte says he enjoyed a long break after the Olympics, walking on red carpets and shooting a reality television show. He says he resumed training two months ago.
Lochte says as he looks to the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016, he plans to leave Gainesville, Florida.
"I just need a different atmosphere and a different place to train," he said. "I'm definitely going to be moving. It could be not even in the U.S. I definitely am going to be traveling. I could go to Australia, Japan, China, who knows where I am going to end up."
He also predicted Michael Phelps will come out of retirement. Phelps isn't competing in Indianapolis this week, but Allison Schmitt, Nathan Adrian, Tyler Clary and Missy Franklin are here. Franklin passed up on lucrative endorsement deals to swim for her high school swim team after the London Olympics.
