Caroline Pal: Michael Phelps' Girlfriend Caz (PHOTOS) Meets The Family

Michael Phelps has taken another lap with his girlfriend - a big one. She's spending Thanksgiving in Baltimore with him and his family.

The Olympic champ has been dating Las Vegas cocktail waitress Caroline "Caz" Pal, 26, for about two months. The two met after his record-setting performance in Beijing last summer.

"She's there [in Maryland] meeting his family for the first time," a source close to Pal tells PEOPLE.

Along with dating Pal, a waitress at the Palms Casino Resort's Moon Nightclub, Phelps is spending time in Vegas working on his poker game.

I just hope he's wearing a condom every time. Can you say David Spade?

Blech.

Oh my gosh, he's dating a hooker? Is the size of the stamp, an indicator of the tramp? Is he not aware of STD's? Poor Michael. Boy are you in for it kid..... start practicing a very important word.... PRENUP....PRENUP.....PRENUP.

Just plain eeeeeeew.

Keep it classy Phelps.

I have no problem with Phelps wanting to have some fun. But given his status and cash flow, he is also in a position to accomplish quite a bit for himself, and also especially for the less fortunate. So I hope he doesn't fritter away his time in the sun (and money) in Vegas.

I think Phelps need something to focus on now that he's done swimming for awhile. His new aspiration is poker??? This is his girlfriend?? Someone needs to get that guy back on track before he self-destructs, because his judgment has quickly gone astray. Perhaps that ADHD finally needs some treatment.

Yikes! she ought to blend right in there in Maryland.

His many years of practicing the breast stroke will come in handy.

An old Southern saying "She got this boy nose wide open."

Oh, Please. This demonstrates how "protected" Michael has apparently been thanks to his mom, sisters and coaches during his growing-up and training years. Now he appears to be wildly out there trying to make up for lost time - tsk tsk, I doubt this young lady fits his mom's criteria for her precious (I don't mean that derogatorily) son's first girl/lady-friend brought home to meet the family.

[LeftLeanWing]

I wonder if she did a lap dance around the turkey.

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

LOLOL!!

[philosophistry]

Ah, young love!

[bsc]

She looks like a hooker.
