Taking a break from their strenuous training schedules, the U.S. Olympic swimmers partook in a little karaoke—carpool karaoke that is.

An activity largely popularized by late-night talk show host James Corden of The Late Late Show, carpool karaoke has been trending throughout 2016. The Team USA. swim team decided to jump—rather, dive—in on the fun.

Veteran passengers included Dana Vollmer, Anthony Ervin, Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, who was behind the wheel in one of the skits. There were also some newcomers along for the ride—Caeleb Dressel, Simone Manuel and young phenom Katie Ledecky all showed off their singing skills. Making both their Olympic team and carpool debut, Ledecky, 19, has won five medals at the Rio games, Manuel, 20, has secured four, and Dressel, 20, has earned two for Team USA.

Other serenading swimmers in the carpool were Nathan Adrian, Missy Franklin, Connor Dwyer and Cody Miller, who sported a lobster costume for the occasion. The athletes covered hits like Justin Bieber’s, “What Do You Mean?” Fifth Harmony’s, “BO$$,” Cheap Trick’s, “In The Street,” and more.

The most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps, engaged in a rendition of Zac Brown Band’s, “Chicken Fried,” impressing viewers with his on-tune crooning. Swim like a butterfly, sing like a bee, perhaps?

While a few of the athletes have pipes, it’s safe to say that swimming is their true calling, with the team winning 33 medals—16 of them gold—in Rio. Watch this gifted team of athletes show off their carpool karaoke chops, and catch them in the real pool during the Olympics.
