With Fuller Perspective, Family Man Ryan Lochte Chases Fifth Olympics<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a career that has wended through five Olympic cycles, Ryan Lochte<\/strong> has learned his share of lessons, publicly and privately.<\/p>\n

But on the precipice of the U.S. Olympic Trials, with a spot at his fifth Olympics on the line<\/a>, Lochte has learned the most away from the pool. For the controversies and reputations in his past, Lochte arrived in Omaha this week as, first and foremost, a father, one whose training schedule occasionally gives way to matters at home, who sometimes requires Gregg Troy<\/strong> to play both coach and babysitter on deck.<\/p>\n

Lochte being 36 is no guarantee of maturity. But married life and the responsibility of three kids has changed him \u2026 and changed his approach to swimming.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to think when I was younger that swimming was my life, but now swimming is just the cherry on top,\u201d Lochte said Friday at a press conference. \u201cMe being a dad and a husband is what I feel I was put on this earth for because it\u2019s a blessing when I wake up and see those kids, even when my kid, like Troy said, throws paint and starts painting the walls of the house. It\u2019s amazing and it\u2019s a new chapter of my life and I\u2019m so happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not long ago, it might have been Lochte painting the walls, figuratively at least. For his son, Caiden<\/strong>, who turned four last week, it\u2019s less a metaphor than an incident report. (The family will be at Trials, and as Lochte said, \u201cYou guys will notice when my kids are here. They\u2019re loud.\u201d)<\/p>\n

While he doesn\u2019t often delve into his past, Lochte doesn\u2019t shun it either, foremost the imbroglio he caused being arrested in Rio after he was done swimming at the last Olympics and lying about the incident to authorities.<\/p>\n

Now, Lochte is approaching Trials with a certain calm. He\u2019s grateful for the extra year of training, saying he\u2019s \u201cin a better state mentally and physically.\u201d He\u2019s encouraged by his training<\/a> at the University of Florida with Troy \u2013 and alongside the American program\u2019s new standard-bearer, Caeleb Dressel \u2013 that has been relatively uninterrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The perspective of balancing swimming and adulthood has been hard won at moments. But it has instilled a certain poise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things that I\u2019m still trying to grasp, balancing swimming at the top level in the sport and being able to go home and not have the luxury, as other guys might, where they can go home, they can take naps, they can get massages,\u201d he said. \u201cI have to go home and become super dad. And when I come home, I\u2019m the play day, so my kids are like, \u2018daddy\u2019s home; let\u2019s play.\u2019 And I just got my butt kicked at practice and I\u2019m like, \u2018kids I just want to be left alone,\u2019 but I can\u2019t. But it\u2019s all worth it because my family is everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a little more maturity,\u201d Troy said. \u201cHe\u2019s gone through some, even since he\u2019s been back, it\u2019s safe to say Ryan hasn\u2019t always made all the best choices, but he\u2019s learned from those choices. He\u2019s much more mature in in what he\u2019s done. That\u2019s given me an ability to talk with him even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lochte and his 12 Olympic medals are already in rarefied air, among Americans and male swimmers globally. By making a fifth Olympics, he would join Michael Phelps<\/strong> and Dara Torres<\/strong> as the only Americans to do so in the pool. His reputation as one of the sport\u2019s all-time greats is sealed, come what may in Omaha.<\/p>\n

But Lochte seems to view that less as reason to go easy and more as freedom to push onward. He\u2019s cognizant that even getting to this point is a level of success. But he wants more than that, and he and Troy have pushed to achieve that.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me personally, I feel like success would be making the Olympic team, and not just making the Olympic team but going to Tokyo and getting another medal,\u201d Lochte said. \u201cTo me, that would be success. But also there\u2019s two sides to that, because another part is me just being 36 and everything that I\u2019ve dealt with throughout my entire life and the training and everything and just being here and giving it one more shot, I feel like is success, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside the pool, I am successful. I\u2019ve got great sponsors. I\u2019ve got a family now, which is the best thing ever. So to me, I\u2019m winning. Swimming is just a cherry on top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lochte is listed on the Trials psych sheets in six events<\/a>. He\u2019s unlikely to swim the full complement, starting with the 400 individual medley. His best shot to qualify for Tokyo is in the 200 IM, where he\u2019s seeded fifth. He\u2019s 13th in the 200 backstroke. Even the relay enticement of the top six in the 200 freestyle<\/a> likely won\u2019t matter, as he\u2019s seeded 53rd.<\/p>\n

This Trials will be a first for Lochte in that he won\u2019t have Phelps as a sparring partner<\/a>. Lochte said it was always \u201ca love-hate thing\u201d with Phelps for as much as they dueled in the pool. While they were spades partners away from the water, there wasn\u2019t that much fondness outside of the cohesion of national team gatherings, when a new group bonds for a few weeks before an event.<\/p>\n

Since Phelps has retired, though, the two have grown closer. They will be forever linked for their achievements in the pool and moving the sport further into the country\u2019s mainstream consciousness, but the connection these days is more about being a dad.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter he stopped swimming after \u201916, I talk to him now more than I ever have in the past, because he\u2019s been through it all, through the media, through the kids, through training, through everything,\u201d Lochte said. \u201cI probably text him or talk to him once every three weeks, and he helps me out a lot. As I got older, I was mentally frustrated and he was helping me very much with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe changed the sport. He made the sport bigger than what it was, and I remember one of my first times, me and him were hanging out and we were talking and we were like, what is one of the things we want to do in the sport? And we both said we want to make swimming bigger than what it is. We want to put swimming in everyone\u2019s living room, like when you turn on the TV, you see NBA. Why can\u2019t we have that for swimming? We want to make swimming bigger? And Phelps definitely, he did that. And I\u2019m trying to do my part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lochte\u2019s legacy in that regard, in his importance to swimming, won\u2019t be defined by what transpires this week. And that brings a certain equanimity. Lochte has endured smudges to his reputation, many of them self-inflicted. And yet he\u2019s swum on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t regret those things that happened and it helped shaped me into who I am today, and I am the happiest person I\u2019ve ever been in my entire life,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m doing what I love to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
