Now that he's retired, Michael Phelps is free to pursue his other passion: lifeguarding.

The 23-time Olympic gold medalist appears alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a promo for the new "Baywatch" movie, in which he's put through a series of tests to see if has what it takes to join the squad.

Phelps said in 2016 he was eager to finally meet Johnson in person after chirping back and forth with him on Instagram.

"I would love to hang out with The Rock," Phelps said at the time. "He and Kevin Hart were the two people I wanted to meet the most. I met Kevin Hart and now I want to meet Dwayne, especially now he's also with Under Armour."
