He swims. He entertains. Now, Ryan Lochte has a new calling: Cologne!

The Olympian stars in a new sketch from Funny Or Die, in which he peddles his brand-new scent, "Pool Water." And yes, the cologne is made out of exactly what you think it is.

Lochte explains the product in the sketch: "Water straight from the pool that I swim in every day, so anyone can smell the chlorinated way I smell." But the real selling point to Pool Water is Lochte's "secret ingredient." We'll let you guess what that is.

This isn't the first time Lochte has tried comedy, or even the first time he's worked with Funny Or Die; he appeared in a sketch for the comedy site during the Summer Olympics, and continued his fling with acting with cameos on 30 Rock and 90210.

But Lochte is always more comfortable swimming than acting. "I can swim in front of millions and millions of people," Lochte told us in an exclusive interview, "but with acting you have to know your lines, and body positions, and where to stand."

Check out the sketch above, and be sure to tune in to E! on Sunday at 10/9c for another all-new episode of What Would Ryan Lochte Do?
