The Baltimore Ravens installed a new pool in their team facility. Unfortunately, several players on Baltimore’s roster said in a video that’s going viral on social media that they don’t know how to swim.
The players are asking legendary swimmer Michael Phelps if the 23-time Olympic gold medal winner will help them out.
“Mr. Phelps, we have a problem. Did you know that one in three Ravens cannot swim? We have a solution for you, sir. Come to Ravens training camp and this beautiful aquatic center and teach us how to swim.”
It didn’t take long for Phelps to respond in the comments with, “I got yall!!! Let’s do it!!”
Fans reacted to the Ravens having a new swimming coach on social media.
“And they will still find a way to lose to the Bills in the AFC playoffs,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Free lessons from the G.O.A.T. Not a bad deal at all,” someone else added.
“this is so cool I grew up in a very small WI town & swimming lessons were something everyone, regardless of income, did growing up it has surprised me quite a bit how many ppl I encounter globally who cannot swim/have v basic ability should never be embarrassed/always address,” another person wrote.
It’ll be interesting to see if Phelps’ lessons help with the Ravens’ endurance on the field.
