On Tuesday, the network posted a segment where Snoop Dogg met with the most decorated Olympian for a swim lesson.


'Now, MP, how does one get so fast in the pool?' Snoop Dogg asks Phelps in the clip.

'Wingspan, lung power,' Phelps said in response.

'You just described me,' Snoop Dogg replied with a chuckle. 'You said wingspan, lung power. I definitely have great lung power.'

Snoop Dogg was then shown swimming across the pool, in his non-Olympic-like form. Afterward, Phelps showed he had not missed a beat despite his playing days behind him.

The American holds a record 28 Olympic medals, 23 of which are gold.

'Mike, you make this look too easy,' Snoop Dogg said. 'As you see, I'm in gold medal condition. And he's still in gold medal condition, as we speak.'
