Since the Games ended on August 12, Ryan's been super busy partying in London, attending movie premieres, racing royals at pool parties in Las Vegas and trying his hand in acting, filming a spot for 90210.
But about that Prince Harry? Ryan insists he'd never met him and was approached by his people at the pool party and it was Harry's idea to take part in an impromptu, fully clothed swim race.
"He's part of the royal family and all, but he's actually a really nice guy," he said. "He's really talkative and he just wanted to meet me and honestly wanted to race me and I thought that was the coolest thing."

When Matt pressed a little further, asking if the randy Prince invited the Olympian up to his VIP suite for some naked, billiard time, Ryan said no and he's "kinda happy" the pair "went their separate ways."

Meanwhile, Ryan's excited about the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro, but says his body's getting older and he might have to swim shorter races.
"Once I landed back in the States after London, I already had my goals in mind for Rio,’’ he said. “They’re a little different now. I can’t spill everything... I'm going to be swimming different events that's for sure."
