Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon turned heads at a hotel swimming pool in the Twin Cities by showing up with flippers and a snorkel mask for a training session.

A bystander recorded the scene from a balcony and shared the video, which quickly spread online. MacKinnon, known for his intense fitness routine, used the gear during the team's playoff stay in Minnesota.

The Avalanche hold a 2-0 series lead over the Minnesota Wild in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Fans noted the hotel likely has a gym available, but MacKinnon opted for the pool workout in the middle of the series.

Online reactions called the choice unusual for a hotel pool shared with other guests, especially with children around at resorts. Commenters described it as extreme behavior from the fitness-focused player.
