The home of the Indianapolis Colts has transformed into a massive swimming facility ahead of next week’s Olympic team trials … but Caeleb Dressel or Katie Ledecky weren’t the first to break in the new tank — it was none other than the NFL team’s mascot, Blue!!
The beloved horse documented the christening on social media … showing him prancing around with enthusiasm before jumping right into the newly built pool on Wednesday.
It’s an exciting time in Indy — the place that usually hosts Anthony Richardson and Co. has been going through quite the makeover for the past month … with the stadium turning into the world’s biggest swimming arena to host the trials on June 15-23.
The whole setup includes more than an acre of pool deck space … which sits about 10 feet above the ground.
There will be two different sections of pools — the competition area and a warmup section … with the latter being blocked off by a big curtain.
Organizers set aside roughly 30,000 tickets for the festivities … in hopes of filling up seats for a one-of-a-kind experience for spectators.
As for where the two million gallons of water came from … constructors got it from the nearby White River.
Blue is clearly stoked about hosting the trials … saying, “LET’S GOOOO.”
Here’s hoping dude knows how to swim!!
