Swimming with Snoop: Michael Phelps' Hysterical Poolside Lesson!

Watch Snoop Dogg and Michael Phelps make a splash at the 2024 Paris Olympics! Lungs and laughs guaranteed.

When you think of Snoop Dogg, swimming isn’t the first thing that comes to mind, but the hip-hop legend recently took to the pool for an unforgettable session with Olympian Michael Phelps! In a collaboration no one saw coming, Snoop Dogg tapped into his “lung power” for a special swimming lesson with the 23-time gold medalist. The event took place in Paris, where the rapper and athlete united in a comical yet competitive spirit as part of NBC's coverage of the 2024 Olympics.

Fans can't stop laughing as the smooth-talking Doggfather attempts to master a butterfly stroke under the guidance of the most decorated swimmer of all time. “You see me and MP?!” Snoop quipped, referring to Phelps by his initials in a funny, relaxed tone. The rapport between the two was evident as they glided through the water, with Phelps offering professional tips and Snoop cracking jokes all the way from the shallow to the deep end.

Snoop, who’s more known for conquering stages than swimming lanes, seemed to take the challenge in stride. The NBC segment has quickly gone viral, showing Snoop's valiant effort to perfect his strokes while Phelps cheered him on with words of encouragement. After all, it's not every day you get coached by a 28-time Olympic medalist! The viewers were treated to a blend of humor and athleticism that only these two icons could deliver.

This isn't Phelps' first dabble in unique coaching gigs. He previously worked with celebrities and kids alike, using his platform to promote swimming and water safety. Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, isn’t a stranger to surprising his fans – from cooking shows with Martha Stewart to now hanging out in a pool with Michael Phelps, he's proving there's no zone he won’t explore for fun and entertainment.

Here’s a fun fact: Did you know that Michael Phelps' wingspan is longer than his height? That's right, standing at 6’4” with his arms stretched out, his wingspan measures an impressive 6’7”! Maybe that extra reach helped him snag all those gold medals.

As for Snoop, his lung power is no joke. He's been a longtime advocate for medicinal cannabis, famously saying, “I got lungs like a newborn baby.” Well, they were certainly put to the test in the pool, giving everyone a reason to laugh and admire his unflagging energy.
