Baltimore native and 23-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps always looks cool in the pool.
But this week at the Summer Olympics in Paris, the former competitive swimmer — a legend in his own right — got an extra dash of splash when NBC host and rap legend Snoop Dogg joined him.
The duo went toe to toe in a pool that appeared to be quite a bit smaller than Phelps’ usual Olympic-sized water playground.

8/7c on Snoop, who seems to be everywhere at this year’s Summer Games — from badminton to beach volleyball, joined Phelps for a swimming lesson, a few laughs and a test of who has the most “lung power.”
“When it comes to one of my lifetime goals, there’s only one man I can think of — Mr. 23-time, OG, the GOAT,” Snoop said as he met up with Phelps, who was recently named the best athlete of the 21st century by ESPN and now lives in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
“And I do have a swimmer’s body. Look … our bodies are similar, man,” said Snoop, wrapped in a red, white and blue hooded robe as he stood next to Phelps to see how he measured up. “We could be twins!”
Well, stranger things have happened.
