United States olympic swimmer Michael Phelps enters the field prior to the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Washington at M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore Ravens players have long showed their ability to make waves with their diving catches and swim moves, but many of them don't actually know how to swim.

That's why a group of players turned to an Olympic gold medalist for help.

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey posted a video to Instagram featuring offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, safety Kyle Hamilton, tight end Charlie Kolar and himself asking Baltimore-born Olympian Michael Phelps for swim lessons.

"Hey Mr. Phelps, we have a problem," Stanley begins.

"Did you know that one in three Ravens cannot swim?" Hamilton says.

"We have a solution for you, sir," Kolar continues.

"Come to Ravens training camp in this beautiful aquatic center and teach us how to swim," Humphrey concludes.

"We got a problem that only @m_phelps00 can fix! From the #RavensAquaticsTeam," Humphrey wrote in the caption.

Within hours of Humphrey uploading the video, Phelps shot back a response in the comments section.

"I got yall!!! Let’s do it!!" wrote the 23-time Olympic gold medalist.

Phelps was born in Baltimore and is an avid Ravens fan. Hall of Famer and former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis is one of Phelps' close friends and mentors.

It's no surprise Phelps was quick to take up the Ravens' offer to help teach some of the players how to swim.
