Olympian swimmer Ryan Lochte is a 12-time Olympic medalist, 6 of them being gold. Additionally, he is regarded as the second most decorated male swimmer in the Olympics, just after Michael Phelps. However, the athlete is now highly focused on his torchbearer, Caiden Lochte.

In an Instagram post, father Lochte was seen encouraging his 5-year-old son to try out a rather difficult stroke which many adults take a while to master. Guess how the junior swimmer did? Let?s find out.

Ryan Lochte trained his son.

In a recent Instagram video posted by the swimmer?s official account, Lochte coached his son to attempt the nerve-wracking butterfly stroke. Shockingly, Caiden aced it and his father was super proud. Lochte?s caption read, ?I just showed him butterfly and he immediately was able to do it. Do we have a swimmer on our hands??

An eventual Instagram story posted by the athlete?s wife, Kayla Lochte, claimed that Caiden was down with a high fever but still managed to go about his regular swimming sessions. Her story read, ?This is the day he woke up with a 102 fever? still goes for it, just like his dad.?

In an Interview, the American swimmer once revealed that he was delighted to see his son and wife after his elimination from the reality TV show, Celebrity Big Brother. Reportedly, Lochte couldn’t hold back his tears and playfully wrestled with him.

?I saw my son, I tackled him to the floor, I was wrestling with him and crying, just because I was so happy?, Lochte disclosed. Additionally, he even mentioned that he ?attacked? his wife with hugs after his return.

Lochte has had a remarkable career in swimming but it is time for the athlete to pass on his ambitious traits to his son. Who, as a matter of fact, has already begun his preparations for the future.
