Snoop Dogg continues to have the time of his life while being an official commentator for the Paris Summer Olympics — and his latest highlight includes getting swimming lessons from iconic Olympian Michael Phelps.
“See, me and M.P., we go back like the backstroke,” Snoop, 52, said in a promotional video for the Olympics from NBC. The hip-hop legend then asked Phelps to go a few laps in the pool and teach him some of his gold medal skills.
Phelps, 39, then told Snoop that the secret to being an expert swimmer is all about your “wingspan” and “lung power,” to which Snoop cheekily responded, “I definitely have lung power. And I do have a swimmer’s body.”
The two then swam a few laps in the pool before an amused Phelps asked a breathless Snoop, “Swimming’s tough, huh?” Admitting it isn’t as easy as he thought, the rapper responded, “It is!” The two then shared a series of laughs.
Earlier this week, Snoop shared a selfie with tennis legend Billie Jean King, 80, who is also in Paris for the Olympics and revealed that the two share an unexpected connection.
“Met the incomparable Snoop Dogg. Both of us were born and raised in Long Beach, California, and graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School. LBC forever in our hearts,” King wrote on Instagram alongside a selfie and other photos of her with the rapper.

Prior to bumping into King, Snoop made headlines when he was seen dancing while carrying the Olympic torch through the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis as one of the final torchbearers ahead of the opening ceremony on Friday, July 26.
In a video on the Paris Olympics’ Instagram, Snoop — dressed in a white Olympics tracksuit and gold sneakers — was shown taking on the flame from the previous torchbearer before dancing his way through the streets and waving to fans.
