“Did you know that one in three ravens can’t swim,” Hamilton said in the video.
“Come to Ravens training camp in this beautiful aquatic center and teach us how we swim,” adds Humphrey.

Phelps seemed to be available to the idea and replied, “I got you! Let’s do it !!”
Kolar said after practice Wednesday he didn’t know Humphrey would send the video.
“I should have known. It’s on fire,” Kolar said. “I thought it would be like a story or maybe sent to him, but I should have known better. I should have known better.”
Phelps won 23 gold medals during his great Olympic career. He was selected as a flag bearer for Team USA at the Summer -Ol opening ceremony 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
