Yesterday, BWW reported that OlympIan Ryan Lochte had received multiple offers to appear on a  TV reality show as well as offers to create his own fashion line and to appear with comedian Will Ferrell in a FunnyOrDie video.

This morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC's TODAY, the 28-year-old revealed that the offers may be more than rumors. Lochte told Lauer, "I'm definitely looking towards 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'The Bachelor,' so we'll see what happens. I definitely want to move to L.A. That's been a big goal of mine, getting into fashion because that is my passion. I definitely want to get into fashion and design my own clothing line."

The swimmer called his time in London "a whirlwind," but adds that he's "definitely going to take some time off. It's been four years of every day in the pool. It's time to take at least a couple weeks."

Yesterday, the swimmer's sports agent Erika Wright confirmed that Lochte is receiving offers for endorsement deals "daily" and has "Little Room for adding more" sponsors. "He has no issues whatsoever with regard to endorsements ... I can say things have been quite busy for team Lochte, heating up fast and furious since the Olympics."
