"I’m going to the Olympics” - Jennifer Hudson on learning to swim from Ryan Lochte
The 12-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte was invited to The Jennifer Hudson Show to teach the American actress and singer, Jennifer Hudson how to swim. During the show, Hudson, the host of The Jennifer Hudson Show, was seen learning to swim from Lochte in a hotel pool. The two were seen having fun while having a swimming session. The show began with Hudson revealing her black swimming outfit under her pink robe. Lochte also showed off his American flag-printed swimming shorts as he pulled down his pants.
The session started with Ryan Lochte placing goggles on Hudson and instructing her on breathing techniques and kicking drills. He then demonstrated how to swim for a few meters and asked her to mimic him. Hudson swam across the width of the pool for a few meters. Upon touching the other side of the pool, she couldn't control her joy and screamed,
"I’m going to the Olympics.”
After several attempts and improvements in her breathing technique, Hudson swam the entire length of the pool, estimated to be about 40 yards by Lochte. Only after reaching the other end did Hudson realize she was in the deep end of the pool. She prepared herself to swim another lap while Lochte kept showering his words of encouragement.
Overflown with joy as she completed her second lap, Lochte shouted with delight,
"Jennifer Hudson is officially a swimmer. Watch out, guys, 2028 Olympics, Jennifer, here she comes."
Ryan Lochte and Hudson clicked pictures after the session, with Hudson donning a medal.
