John Legend‘s head is officially under water!
Two days after the “All of Me” singer, 40, announced he wasbeginning swim lessons for the first timein nearly 35 years, his wifeChrissy Teigenshared a video of him in action.
Posting the clip to Instagram on Wednesday night, Legend is seen paddling underneath the water from one side of their pool to the other, while an instructor watches on from the shallow end stairs.
When one of Teigen’s followers asked why there was no sound included, theLip Sync Battlehost explained, “because I’m cheering too loudly” In response, modelNina Agdalcommented, “The things id do to unmute this.”
Other stars, includingKatharine McPheeandJordin Sparks, also commented on the clip with their own thoughts about the swim sesh.
“I feeeeel like this (indirectly) and VERY LOW KEY [is] a flex for people stuck in the polar vortex today,” McPhee jokingly wrote, while Sparks added in a separate comment, “This is amazing! Get it, John!!”

His second lesson comes just two days after the singer revealed in a tweet on Monday afternoon that he waslearning how to swim for the first timesince he was 5 years old.
Despite the unusually late start, Legend said he was actually one step ahead of his father, Ronald Stephens, who started to learn when he was in his 60s.
“I can’t really swim. Today I took my first swim lesson since I was like 5,” Legendtweeted. “My dad learned in his 60’s so I feel like I’m ahead of schedule.”

Others, meanwhile, poked fun at the singer and his 2013 hit song “All of Me,” which says in the lyrics: “My head’s under water, but I’m breathing fine/You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind.”
“So what happened when your head was under water? Did you breathe fine? Was it all a lie?!” asked a fan.
“All. Lies. Hahaha,” Legendjokingly wrote back.
At one point, fans even began toquestionLegend and Teigen’s parenting and pool safety — asking what would happen if Legend or their kids accidentallyfell into the pool— to which Teigen quickly defended her husband and snapped back.
“Not trying to disrespect U or your kids. Just wanted to put out there for general knowledge about pools, children, and safety precautions in response to someone commenting @ John slipping into pool,”clarifieda fan afterward.
“ok I’m sorry,” Teigenwrote back. “misunderstood but get very defensive when people question our kid’s safety.”
