Swimming legend Michael Phelps never stops himself from trying different shoes for the sports fraternity. The most decorated Olympian of time epitomizes a true sportsperson whenever a need arises. His help to the cause of the Alabama football team in the days of 2022 or his phenomenal stint on and off the swimming arena at the University of Michigan has already made the 38-year-old GOAT nothing short of folklore. Even Michael Phelps’ business ventures spark the same theme that he adores. 

A recent exchange of social media visuals sealed that mood. Eventually, the sporting community never feels tired of acknowledging the Flying Fish in cultivating relationships.

Delving himself into swimming practice heavily, in those after-math days of the Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps could only ask for a rejuvenation. The pool water wasn’t supportive enough at that moment. So Phelps had immersed himself in cold water therapy. The continued effect was so soothing that the Baltimore Bullet approached Master Spas for a product-building that would provide a similar experience to the needy ones. That joint effort surfaced in the Chilly GOAT Tubs in 2022. In his product launch, the legend posted on IG, “I’ve spent so much time in a lot of different ice tubs… and we took a lot of time to make this perfect. I’m at a loss of words for how excited I am to share this with y’all. I look forward to hearing what y’all think of my #chillygoat”. Since then, the Chilly GOAT Tubs have served many athletes’ needs.
