HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte said he's interested in appearing on "Dancing With the Stars" and "The Bachelor."

Lochte's agent, whose name was not reported, told The Hollywood Reporter in an e-mail Wednesday the swimmer has received at least two television offers and a third is being discussed. He did not mention any shows by name, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

"I'm definitely looking toward 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'The Bachelor,' so we'll see what happens," Lochte told Matt Lauer on the "Today" show Friday.

Fellow Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has signed on to appear in the Golf Channel's "The Haney Project," THR reported.
