USA Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Lochte and Entourage Seen Partying at Playboy Mansion, Reckless Lifestyle?

Ryan Lochte is one of the most famous Olympic swimmers of all time. Often, Lochte and Michael Phelps are described as being cut from the same cloth. Also, Ryan has shown that -- like Phelps -- he has a less glamorous party side. In recent news, Lochte and his entourage were seen hanging out and snapping photos at the legendary Playboy Mansion. Ryan's party lifestyle was even clearly documented during his time at the 2012 Olympics.

Ryan got his first swimming lesson at the age of five by both his parents. They were clearly great teachers, because they instilled some fundamentals that would carry Lochte all the way to the University of Florida.

While in Florida, Lochte was named NCAA Swimmer of the Year twice, he was a seven-time NCAA champion and a seven-time SEC champion. Most impressively, perhaps, he was a 24 time All-American.

Since then, Lochte has become one of the most decorated athletes to ever compete in the Olympics.

Based on a report by TMZ Sports, however, Lochte feels that all his hard work over the years has earned him the right to party hard whenever he feels like it:

"Team USA swimmer Ryan Lochte crossed an item off his bucket list Thursday night ... after spending the night partying at the legendary Playboy Mansion! Lochte hit up Hugh Hephner's place with fellow U.S. swimmers Conor Dwyer and Cullen Jones...who was out celebrating his 31st birthday. No word if the guys had any luck with the ladies who frequent the property...but at least they got in the door...and that should count for something, right?"

As previously stated, this is not an isolated incident. According to NY Daily News, Ryan has been going hard for some time now:

"Ryan Lochte parties nearly as hard as he trained for the 2012 Olympic games...Eleven-time Olympic champ Ryan Lochte doesn't do things halfway -- and that includes partying. The gold medal-winning swimmer went out on the town in London with pals Sunday night and exhibited the same passion and determination he uses to win races in order to have a good time. Lochte and pals were photographed leaving the exclusive hangout where they enjoyed free-flowing champagne and cocktails for several hours..."
