The United States swim team is drumming up support for its upcoming Olympic competitions and using pop tune "Call Me Maybe" to help.

Team USA, which will start its 2012 Summer Olympic swimming competition Saturday in London, took time off from practice laps and pool time to lip-sync to Carley Rae Jepsen's catchy tune poolside, under water, on an airplane and in the locker room.

In this video, posted by usaswimming.org.com Thursday on YouTube.com, the whole team gets in on the act, including swimmers Alyssa Anderson, Kathleen Hersey and Caitlin Leverenz who coordinated the effort. And, yes, top rivals and teammates Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte make an appearance.

Olympics swimming competition coverage starts at 4 a.m. Saturday on NBC, channel 2, cable 9.

So sing along with Team USA.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
