Overview

  • Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey and teammates Ronnie Stanley, Kyle Hamilton and Charlie Kolar filmed themselves in their new recovery pool asking Phelps for swim instruction.
  • The players noted that one in three Ravens cannot swim, preventing them from fully using the renovated facility.
  • Michael Phelps, Baltimore-born and holding 23 Olympic gold medals, promptly replied “I got y’all! Let’s do it!” on social media.
  • The team is currently scheduling the lessons at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills, though specific dates have not been set.
  • This collaboration highlights the Ravens’ emphasis on athletic recovery, cross-sport partnerships and community ties.
