The water decathlon is essentially the individual medley (comprised of four different swimming disciplines), and yes he is dominant in that as well. And he is usually the best, or near the best in all the disciplines.
Phelps could easily contend in any swimming event, but obviously he can only choose to do so many events without running himself dry.
Heck he dropped events he won gold medals in last time around. If Phelps really wanted to he could probably almost match the medals Canada won the past three Olympics by himself. It would just force him to sacrifice winning the gold 18 times.
