Michael Phelps Answers Marlon Humphrey’s Request to Teach Ravens To Swim | Baltimore Ravens

Couple weeks ago, I got caught out by a couple of the guys in the pool. Hey, 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 Raven’s training camp in this beautiful aquatic center and teach us how to swim. We want to become Michael Phelps, not only in the pool, but greatness. Okay. So, what better way to just be great outside as well as inside? Get a pool. So, we can’t wait to have Mr. Phelps come in here, show us how to swim. There’s a couple guys on the team that do not know how to swim. Just walking in, you just feel like I I feel energy. I feel energized. Mike, now we’re into our my neighborhood. Yes, indeed. Right now, you’re looking at about 36,000 gallons of water. Most of it in here. I do recovery here, but we do a lot of rehab. So, I think you might have saw a video of some swim lessons calling me out. How long? This isn’t 25, is it? Yeah. So, it’s probably 20 m. It’s like the first thing I do when I look at a pool always. Like for me in a perfect world, if I’m swimming laps, I would want a 33 meter or 33 yard pool, three lap hunds, because then it gives me time to get into my stroke a little better. I mean, we’ll see. We’ll see how today goes. The boys start swimming. We might have to expand this a little bit. To be able to come back here and spend some time with the boys today is is special for me. I get to bring my my 7-year-old Becket back with me, and I look forward to spending some time with them in the pool. And it’s going to be a little colder than what they’re used to, too. It’s going to be 78, 79 degrees. It’ll wake you up. Sup, big dog. How this little man? Yeah, this is Becky. Becky. Hey, what’s up? Nice to meet you. Remember the video of the Ravens calling me out? Yeah. How’s Marlin? It’s orchestrated after practice as a guy was watching that couldn’t swim. He was just like looking at us in the pool like swimming. Then we started acting around like dang swim. So today, today’s the day. He goes, “Yeah, man. I’m from New York. I don’t need to know how to swim, but if Michael come, I’ll learn.” I’m like, “That’s not really a good reason to learn, but that’s that’s a good enough reason.” So, we’re going to have some fun today. That’s for sure. Yeah, it should be it should be fine for me to be able to have this opportunity to hopefully allow some of the guys that might not feel comfortable or safe in the water to give them that just that little extra give the boys maybe a new tool but also give them some extra confidence. If you’re learning how to swim, there’s no better teacher than the world’s greatest Olympian, Michael Phelps. So, big round of applause. Thank you guys for taking this step and being vulnerable, right? I know not all of you do know how to swim. So, I thank you so much. And this whole city, you know, looks up to every single one of you. And you guys getting in the water to do this could potentially save and change somebody else’s life in a positive way. I want to say thank you again for taking this step with us today and let’s have some fun. Let’s get in the water and let’s learn how to swim. brought up, suck your belly button in. You know, some of our players don’t know how to swim. That’s something that happens a lot, you know, where kids just need to learn or have the opportunities to learn. So, we were able to work with our partner at the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore, um, and just really have a couple of their kids out to come learn to swim alongside our guys. Drowning is the second highest cause of death for children under the age of 14. And for me with my foundation, that’s something that we’re we’re trying to change. Honestly, for me to get into the swimming pool, I was definitely afraid. I didn’t want to put my face in the We’re about to raise Mike. How you feel? I feel confident. Once we kind of learned that we were going to be able to get Michael with some of our guys, you know, we really wanted to make sure we could thank him for his, you know, efforts in in supporting our players. Uh, we also wanted to support him. So, we’re making a donation of $100,000 to the Michael Phelps Foundation. We’re going to donate $100,000 to the Michael Phelps Foundation. Thank you both for all you do. Thank you. One, two, three.

Michael Phelps came to Baltimore to help teach the Baltimore Ravens how to swim. In return, the Ravens organization donated 100 thousand dollars to his foundation for water safety.
