Michael Phelps is about to dive into new water.

The 23-year-old swimmer, who won a record eight gold medals at this summer’s Olympics in Beijing, is set to appear on screen twice in the upcoming weeks.

Phelps will first appear on the televised MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7, joining Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, and the cast of High School Musical as a presenter.

Then, a week later, he will be hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. SNL’s 34th season premiere, airing on Sept. 13, will also feature Lil Wayne as the musical guest.

And, as if that weren’t enough for “Phelps Phans”, the swimmer will also be releasing a book about his time at the Olympics, his training, and how he was raised in a single-parent family. The book, “Built To Succeed”, is slated for a December release.
