During a recent stay in Germany, English comedian Helena Kate Moody had a chaotic day where an attempt at a casual swim turned into an athletic trial of sorts. The story, which she shared on TikTok and Instagram, has gained massive traction, racking up 2.1 million views on TikTok alone. With the caption, “Michael Phelps? More like Michael yelps cos I’m coming for his job x,” Moody documented her bizarre encounter with a local swim coach named Reinhardt.
Moody starts her video saying, “Welcome to the weirdest afternoon of my life, because I just accidentally did a trial for the German Olympic swim team,” she said. After ignoring signs she couldn’t read because of the language barrier, she says she found herself in an empty facility with only one elderly man present. She introduces herself, which gets her a startling response: “Hello, my name is Reinhardt, and I am the Berlin Olympic swim team coach, and you’re in luck.”
