Katie Ledecky Swam the Entire Length of a Pool While Balancing a Glass of Milk on Her Head

GWANGJU, SOUTH KOREA - JULY 27: Gold medalist Katie Ledecky of the United States poses during the medal ceremony for the Women's 800m Freestyle Final on day seven of the Gwangju 2019 FINA World Championships at Nambu International Aquatics Centre on July 27, 2019 in Gwangju, South Korea.

Katie Ledecky's swimming career is full of Olympic gold medals and world records, but perhaps one of the most impressive feats of her career came in the form of a TikTok video. I'm kidding — sort of. I know her athletic feats are in a league of their own, but once you see this clip of Ledecky balancing milk on her head while swimming, you'll understand my admiration.

The 23-year-old recently partnered with Got Milk to try out a whole new challenge: "What can you do without spilling a drop?" Well, it turns out Ledecky can swim the entire length of an Olympic-sized with a glass of chocolate milk sitting on top of her cap. Totally no big deal, right? Uh, sure, Jan. Even Ledecky said this is, "Possibly one of the best swims of my career!" I'm guessing getting to sip on a drink at the end didn't hurt.

Watch the full clip below to see Ledecky's impressive feat in action. Something tells me it'll be a little bit harder for the next person who tries to follow her strokes.
