Ryan Lochte Teaches Jennifer Hudson to Swim

[@D2J8]

That was so generous of this Olympic pro to take the time to teach an absolute beginner how to swim. Wonderful segment 🏊🏾‍♀️

[@lavenberry]

I'm so glad to see JHud swimming and encouraging people to learn how to swim. With 320,000 annual drowning deaths worldwide, drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. We need more public pools and people need to learn how to swim. JHud did a great job. I ❤JHud.

[@imhereforitall9218]

You mean Blk people? Nothing against your statement at all.

[@missld6856]

@lavenberry, What adults don’t know how to swim? It’s extremely important to know how, I don’t see how someone wouldn’t know how - you kick you legs- dog paddle keep yourself above water. A skill everyone as a child should know

[@StephaniePerry]

Congratulations Jennifer! I love this for you! Water's my happy place, and I learned to swim at like 46. 😆

[@biddybop8515]

There’s hope for me too then 🧡

[@kgsunshine]

That's beautiful!

[@DeeDiamond2981]

Yea at any age , u can learn a skill

[@mayberryfiya3528]

Really? That’s so cool you give me hope I’m 36 and sad I can’t swim 🥲😆but next summer I got this!!! 😄

[@natachafleury_charles2509]

46 ? I’m inspired 😅thank you I’m going to learn how to swim too.

[@mkgavitt0406]

As an Aquatics specialist for 40 years, Ryan took her through the initial steps so well, helping her get past her fears! We can stop drownings if everyone can overcome just some of their fears and learn to swim! Congratulations JD! So proud of you!

[@montraedavis2201]

Congratulations, Jhud!! Everyone should learn how to swim! Especially when you become a parent. Never know when you might need it. It's better to know it and not need it than to need it and not know it💜

[@sandrafayesimpson8699]

I wouldn’t mind learning how to swim 🏊‍♂️ if Ryan was teaching me either. The guy has won 12 medals 🥇 so I say he’ll be the perfect teacher. #nevertolatetolearn

[@romeomarks8344]

I really like Jennifer as a person and artist she has an amazing voice and she can sing I m so mad she’s not getting the appreciation that she deserves

[@juantomjones9653]

She did so good. And Ryan taught her well. Congratulations JHud!

[@sadcd007]

Yessss Jennnn 🎉 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 I’m 34 and I learned how to swim last year! After that Memorial Day when a little girl drowned 😔🙏🏾 at the local beach where I felt so helpless and wanted to be able to do something should I be around swimming kids in the future! Everyone should know how to swim or at least float! Even the kiddos

[@sandywatson1708]

Good Job Jennifer! You just inspired me to conquer my fear of swimming.

[@lamb83]

I thought I was the only one who didn't know how to swim! Thank you, Jennifer, for the inspiration--congrats on doing such a stellar job!

[@bongiwekubheka2965]

😢Me too thats why I took my son to learn. NOT sure about me😢

[@WenD1908]

I’m not a swimmer. I want my son to swim and then he can teach me.

[@tigergreg8]

Ryan seems like the nicest guy in the world. I think he'd be a terrific coach to have.

[@minahsindane-bloem4508]

Thank you, Jenniffer, for this. I am encouraged. Last year March at 54, I faced my fear of water and took up swimming lessons. I will be turning 56 on 28 November and still taking the lessons. I am now comfortable in water and with water and can do all strokes, freestyle, froggie, butterfly and backstroke. Indeed, one is never too old to learn

[@mozellephilpart1726]

Just love Jennifer! She's so warm and down to earth!

[@LPay-jy8mx]

Congratulations J! And thank you for being vulnerable to show us how tory and learn, to be brave, stretch ourselves, try again, and overcome our fears on the way to mastering a new skill. This video right here is a massive gift to soooo many fellow humans ... more than you've could even imagine. 💌

[@ericaadkins3383]

So proud of JHud. Many adults can't overcome their fear of water to even try. This was awesome to watch.

[@bettydamnboop3030]

When Jennifer said I’m going to the Olympics 🥰

[@kdeloris2225]

That cracked me up🤣🤣🤣

[@banpunji92]

That gave me sooooooo much life....

[@Lissa102]

Wait this is so cute between her excitement when she mastered something and his excitement when she finally put it together ❤❤

[@melaniecharles7448]

Learned to swim in my 30s, partly by watching Lochte swim videos on KZbin. Changed my life. Ryan is correct, the confidence you gain the pool translates to confidence outside the pool.

[@sofianavarrete4231]

I LOVE IT WHEN SHE SAID ONE MORE TIME CRACK ME UP

[@miarawks]

He's always been one of my big crushes in the Olympics ❤🥰

[@inesrodriguez876]

Yeeeessss !🥰Shout out to you, Jenny and your ( instructor) Ryan Lochter. Being coaching by someone who makes one self trust and emerge the own capabilities is ✨💎✨!

[@atlaustell]

She did great! So proud of her for learning to swim!

[@alanaeaves4551]

This makes me so happy to see. I didn't have access to a pool growing up and didn't learn to swim until late into my teens. I'm still a bit self conscious about my swimming skills and cannot dive but I think it's so important to try/learn.

[@roxannestapleton-whyms6925]

This was a breath of fresh air. Well done Jen and Ryan.

[@jamiejackson1780]

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVE THIS!!! Thank you for this 1 Jennifer!!! INCREDIBLE THANKS FOR SHARING & INSPIRING!!! & CONGRATULATIONS 🥰🥳🥳🥳🫶🏾

[@annbazile6496]

Jennifer girl you got this! You did Super great! Congratulations! Jennifer girl you look so young with that swim cap on your complexion is radiant Sending Love from Georgia ❤ God Bless U.

[@kgsunshine]

So INSPIRING! I'm so proud of her! 🎉🙌🏾😍

[@apriljones2492]

Jennifer, you put me in a happy place watching your fierce determination!!!! I’m so proud of you ❤

[@johnnyleopard2668]

Ahh! Yes! Congratulations Jennifer!! You crushed it ❤ 🎉

[@QueenDiva]

Congratulations !! You did it!! Keep practicing! Try floating backwards and do the back stroke so you can look up at the sky when you swim! It is so relaxing and beautiful. 👑🩷

[@mozellephilpart1726]

I love Jennifer's coach! Loved the way he introduced swimming to her! Love the fact that he says he loves the water and it's his happy place! That's inspirational! That's the kind of teacher a person wants!

[@JucalDyer]

Ryan was genuinely happy. Loool, I love that.

[@sheilarichard4610]

Way to go Jennifer!! I am so proud of you!! ❤

[@grl9917]

Ryan seems like a really nice guy. We all did things we regret and weren’t the brightest when we were young. It’s great to see him contributing and putting his talents to good use.

[@veronicamwarren5750]

Yeah!! I learned to swim when I was a child at the YMCA, where my great uncle was the director at the time. But you, Jennifer, have inspired me to get back to it cause I know I have gotten rusty now.😊❤

[@valeriejohnson8771]

Congratulations Jennifer. I know that fear of trying to learn how to swim. She did really well.

[@robinwhite2471]

Wow! I'm so glad you are learning how to swim. My man Walter is the lifeguard. I feel him, that's your best friend so he's guarding your life! Swimming is all in the kicking j. You did a great job so proud of you! Keep being amazing J.♥️✌🏿💪🏿🌹

[@tuduleshiggins8832]

[@elanmackey7892]

Yay Jennifer🎉🤩

[@johnjackson1466]

I taught my great nephew and niece this past summer how to swim. I am no longer fearful when they come to my home, because now they can swim in the pool.

[@k.chynalee2352]

I hear you Jen that is on my bucket list too

[@shirleysmith4320]

Yeaaaa, you did it Jen, love you girl you go. Love her! ❤

[@rachelmm05]

Learning to swim even as an adult is vitally important. Dont settle for being near the water, looking cute in a swimsuit, just being in the shallow end or not even knowing how to save yourself or child if you fall in. You can take lessons at your local pool or YMCA. Lessons aren't that expensive but can save your life.

[@MeredithBryant487]

Way to go Jennifer!!! 😊

[@beccajoyner]

YAAAAS JHUD! The water is my happy place too. I’m glad you’re taking the steps to making it yours.

[@reatherhollingsworth2097]
