Michael Phelps Visits Ravens Training Camp After Promise to Teach Players to Swim
Olympic champion Michael Phelps promised to teach swim lessons to the Baltimore Ravens.
On Tuesday, he joined the NFL team at training camp.
Phelps responded to a social media post by Baltimore’s Marlon Humphrey, among others, asking him to help the team learn to swim after finding out that about a third of the players couldn’t.
A huge Ravens fan his whole live, and Baltimore native, Phelps replied to Humphrey’s social media post with, “I got yall!!! Let’s do it!!”
Phelps took a tour of the Ravens’ new recovery pool, which was part of the team’s offseason renovation project at the Under Armour Performance Center, and watched practice.
The 23-time Olympic gold medalist will spend time with the team and plans to work with players in the water.
The time table for the lessons is unknown at this time, but the Ravens confirmed he was at camp and interacting with the players.
