"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 Ravens training camp, in this beautiful aquatic facility, and teach us how to swim."
Phelps responded to the callout with, "I got yall!!! Let's do it!!"
To the Ravens' credit, this was an inventive video to not only host the greatest American Olympian, but also to learn how to swim.
Swimming is also a great way for players to work out their cardio, as taking laps in a pool works out legs, arms, and so much more.
Though the above video also only showcases a quick look at the aquatic center, it does look like the right kind of facility to bring Phelps in as well.
The Ravens are looking to return to the postseason for the fourth season in a row. The hope would be they can also get past the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills to make it to a Super Bowl.
Baltimore was able to make it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs in 2024, but they were bested by the Bills with a final score of 27-25.
The 2023 season saw the Ravens make the AFC Championship, but fell to the Chiefs with a 17-10 final score.
Baltimore has the right team to get to the big game, but they continue to fail in the postseason. The good news is the team is still one of the best built in the AFC, and they have a good shot at making it deep in the playoffs in 2025.
Whether swimming lessons will help them remains to be seen, but bringing in Phelps should be hugely inspirational.

Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men's 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024.

New York Knicks Star Reacts to Terry McLaurin Trade Rumors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week, the Washington Commanders have officially reached a low point in their contract negotiations with the veteran wide receiver, Terry McLaurin. New York Knicks star Josh Hart, who is a well-known Commanders fan, took to social media to react to the viral news report that confirmed Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Commanders. "Damn," said a stunned Josh Hart. All offseason, McLaurin and the Commanders understood they were on different pages in terms of what they want. While the Commanders want McLaurin around for next season and beyond, and McLaurin wants to remain a Commander for the rest of his career, the financials aren't working for either side. McLaurin wants to be paid like one of the top wideouts in the NFL. The Commanders seem to think that his financial demands are too steep at this time. Back in the spring, McLaurin was willing to show up for OTAs at first. Then, he changed his mind. When the Commanders reached mandatory minicamp, McLaurin was away from the team. He stayed away at the start of training camp as well. Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders is interviewed on the sidelines against the Baltimore Ravens during the first half of a preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium on August 27, 2022 in Baltimore, Maryland.... Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders is interviewed on the sidelines against the Baltimore Ravens during the first half of a preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium on August 27, 2022 in Baltimore, Maryland. MoreLate last week, McLaurin surprisingly showed up at the Commanders' camp. He wasn't suited up, as he got placed on the PUP list, but McLaurin was showing that he's still committed to the team despite not having a deal in place just yet. His presence didn't move the needle. Now, McLaurin's on to the next step, and is attempting to force his team's hand. Pay up or trade him away so he can secure his money somewhere else. Read More: Chad Johnson Suggests Two Possible Trade Suitors for Terry McLaurin Seeing the Commanders part ways with McLaurin would be a tough pill to swallow for fans like Josh Hart. Not only has McLaurin been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the NFL since 2019, but he's coming off a career-best season in the scoring department. Playing in his first season with Jayden Daniels, McLaurin caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. In the playoffs, he racked up 227 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Commanders were one game away from the Super Bowl. McLaurin and Daniels could be a dangerous duo in the NFC East for years to come, but the veteran is reaching a point where he might need to pack up and move elsewhere to secure his desired deal.
