Phelps, Olympic legend, will teach the Baltimore Ravens to swim

Michael Phelps joins the Ravens for swimming lessons

The Baltimore Ravens are making waves in the NFL by adding the most decorated Olympic athlete in history to their ranks. Michael Phelps, a native of Baltimore and a fervent Ravens fan, agreed to teach swimming to the team. Phelps, who accumulated a record of 23 Olympic gold medals in swimming, was contacted by the Ravens on Tuesday. It all started when cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video on social media asking for Phelps’ help. Humphrey, along with offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, safety Kyle Hamilton, and tight end Charlie Kolar, were recorded at the team’s new pool, lining up in single file before jumping into the water. They revealed that one in three Ravens players cannot swim.

Kolar commented that he did not expect Humphrey to post the video on social media, believing that he would send it directly to Phelps. “I should have known”, Kolar said.
