2017 appears to be the year of the shark as four-time Olympian Ryan Lochte recently released a video promoting Nat Geo WILD’s SharkFest. However, unlike fellow star Olympian Michael Phelps, Lochte will not be racing any sharks.

The comedy-centered teaser video centers around a theme of “second best,” a theme that Lochte begrudgingly accepts in the video, but SharkFest has accepted for years. The “#2 week of sharks,” as Nat Geo WILD refers to it, returns to screen on July 23.

Featured programs include: Sharks vs. Predator (July 23), Tiger Shark Terror (July 24), Mission Critical: Sharks Under Attack (July 24), Shark Swarm (July 25), and World’s Deadliest: Shark Frenzy (July 26).
