Longhorn Aquatics was hosting its New Year's Classic, and Lance Armstrong decided to drop on by and hop in the pool.

The seven-time Tour de France champ swam in one of the 500 free heats, and going up against kids more than half his age, he looked much slower than he did all those years on a bike.

Armstrong finished seventh-of-eight in his heat, clocking a time of 5:08:11.

According to his twitter account, it was his first race in a meet in 25 years.
