As a former national level swimmer who has been at many meets with Lochte I can tell you this is the absolute opposite of how he is.  Between him and Phelps I would gladly support Lochte any day.  In person he is very laid back and easy to get along with.  Phelps is the opposite, he is cocky, full of himself, and a tool to just about anyone he meets.  \n\nJust wanted to clarify.
