July 31 (UPI) -- Baltimore native Michael Phelps plans to assist his hometown NFL team by giving swimming lessons to the Baltimore Ravens, who requested help on social media.
Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video with the request for the Olympic icon Tuesday on Instagram and X. The video featured Humphrey, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, safety Kyle Hamilton and tight end Charlie Kolar inside the new recovery pool at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills, Md.
Phelps, who holds a record 23 Olympic gold medals, is a lifelong Ravens fan.
"Hey Mr. Phelps, we have a problem," the Ravens players said in the video. "Did you know that 1 in 3 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."
Phelps responded Wednesday by writing "I got y'all! Let's do it." in an Instagram comment.
