Ryan Steven Lochte (born August 3, 1984) is an American swimmer and a six-time Olympic medalist (three gold, two silver, one bronze).  As part of the American team, he holds the world record in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay (long course).  Individually, he currently holds the world record in the 200-meter individual medley (long and short course) and the 400-meter individual medley (short course).

Lochte's success have earned him the World Swimmer of the Year Award and the American Swimmer of the Year Award once.  He has won a total of fifty-one medals in major international competition, thirty-two gold, eleven silver, and eight bronze spanning the Olympics, the World, Pan American, and the Pan Pacific Championships.

Lochte specializes in the backstroke and individual medley, but is also a freestyle swimmer.  He is noted for the speed and distance he attains while kicking underwater.  Lochte is also known for his dominance in the short course format (25-meter long swimming pool).

Lochte was born in Canandaigua, New York in 1984, the son of Steve and Ileana Lochte.  His father is a swim coach and his mother is a day care director.  His mother is Cuban and was born and raised in Havana.  He has two older sisters and two younger brothers. 

He is a 2002 graduate of Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange, Florida.  Lochte attended the University of Florida and graduated in 2007, majoring in sport management.  Initially, Lochte was not interested in swimming and often fooled around during practice.  Lochte only began taking swimming seriously when he was a junior in high school.  As a part of the Florida Gators swimming and diving team, he swam for coach Gregg Troy.  At Florida, Lochte was the NCAA Swimmer of the Year twice, a seven-time NCAA champion, a seven-time SEC champion, and a twenty-four time All-American.  At the 2006 NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships, during his senior year, Lochte won individual titles in all three of his individual events, setting U.S.  Open and American records in the 200-yard individual medley and the 200-yard backstroke.  He also broke Tom Dolan's nearly decade-old NCAA record in the 400-yard individual medley.  After finishing his fourth year of collegiate eligibility with the Gators, he was sponsored by Speedo, thus turning professional.
