Olympic hunk Ryan Lochte surprised teams of young swimmers recently when he showed up for their meet and challenged them in the pool.
In a video shown on ABC's Good Morning America on Monday, Lochte, 28, thrilled the junior swimmers with an impromptu visit and race, which the world record holder won handily, much to the delight of the young athletes.
Lochte, an All-American at the University of Florida who holds 11 Olympic medals, has been on a public appearance tour. Dozens of fans – mostly female – showed up at an Orlando-area AT&T store last week for an autograph, where Lochte marked his first public signing since he won five medals in the London Games.

Judging by the five medals around his neck from the London Games, you might say Ryan Lochte had a busy summer.
Or, as he might say, "I was America in Olympics." Well, that was Seth MacFarlane's take on the swimmer during a Weekend Update skit on SNL's 38th-season premiere Saturday. Watch below.
MacFarlane, channeling the swimmer, gave anchor Seth Meyers his take on the fall TV season. On his must-see list: "Monkey Hospital," he says, "It's not fair – they give all the best lines to the monkey." Of course, he's referring to NBC's Animal Practice. His verdict? "Three swims."

Ryan Lochte got the gold but he did not get the girl.
The Olympic swimmer publicly declared his crush on Blake Lively to PEOPLE just last week.
But that was before the Gossip Girl actress wed Ryan Reynolds in a surprise South Carolina ceremony Sunday.
"I just heard about [the wedding]," Lochte told PEOPLE Monday. "I didn't even know she had a boyfriend until someone told me after I said I had a crush on her."
Not that the single athlete has any hard feelings towards Reynolds for taking Lively off the market.

Watch out Ryan Reynolds – America's most eligible bachelor, Ryan Lochte, is a Gossip Girl fan!
"I have a huge crush on Blake Lively. She's drop-dead gorgeous," Lochte, 28, told PEOPLE at New York's Ainsworth Park at the Windsor Custom Clothes Fashion's Night Out event. "I haven't met her yet. If I do, I'd definitely be starstruck. She makes my toes curl."
The Olympic gold medalist, who is on a strict diet and trains about six hours a day during competitions, admits he'd break his healthy regimen for Lively, who has a passion for baking sweets and has been linked to Reynolds since Oct. 2011.
"For her, I would totally cheat [on my diet]," he says. "I love homemade food, but I do have to keep to my regimen because I'm still training for the 2016 Olympics."
