Michael Phelps answers Ravens players' call to learn how to swim

Olympic Legend Takes on Ravens Swim Challenge

Can Michael Phelps Teach Baltimore's Football Stars How to Swim?

A unique challenge has been issued to swimming superstar Michael Phelps, and the Ravens are diving right in!

In a viral video posted by cornerback Marlon Humphrey, teammates Ronnie Stanley, Kyle Hamilton, and Charlie Kolar revealed that one in three players on the team can't swim. They called upon Phelps to visit their training camp, check out their new recovery pool, and share his swimming expertise.

"I got yall!!! Let’s do it!!" Phelps enthusiastically responded.

Fourth-year tight end Kolar shared that he initially thought Humphrey would send the video directly to Phelps instead of posting it publicly, "I should have known better," he admitted.

The 40-year-old Phelps, hailing from Baltimore and widely recognized as the most decorated Olympian ever with 28 total medals (including 23 golds), has actively supported the Ravens in the past. His mission to teach others how to swim extends beyond the pool.

Since retiring from competition, Phelps has dedicated his efforts to drowning prevention through The Michael Phelps Foundation, which offers learn-to-swim classes designed to build self-esteem and promote wellness.
