They may be good in the pool, but are the US Olympic swimming team any good at Carpool Karaoke?

You can judge for yourselves, after the squad uploaded their own version of The Late Late Show staple in Atlanta before leaving for Rio. 

The clip, which includes 18 times gold medal-winner Michael Phelps, sees the team blasting through hits by, among others, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

Elizabeth Beisel, 23, starts in the driving seat alongside 19-year-old Caeleb Dressel as Taylor Swift's Shake It Off comes on the stereo. 

Then the footage quickly switches to a mellow Michael Phelps, who asks: 'Is anybody going to play music today?' 

Carly Rae Japsen's Call Me Maybe - a hit when the team filmed a carpool karaoke before London 2012 - is next up.

But this is quickly vetoed by Missy Franklin, 21, who says, 'Get it off, get it off!'

Even without the usual harmonious accompaniment of Late Late Show host James Corden, the team perform a reasonable rendition of What Do You Mean? by Justin Bieber.

This even inspires the attention of three men on the sidewalk, one of whom dances along to the beats. 

Aside from the music scene, the swimmers are expecting big things in Rio. 

Speaking during their 12-day Atlanta training camp, first-time Olympian Gunnar Bentz said: 'It's kind of a college kid's dream.

'We get to stay up late and we get to sleep in. It's kind of nice, honestly, but training at 10-11 p.m. is a little weird. You get used to it, but I think will work really well in Rio.'
