tweeted out the news, posting, “It's official! Just signed with CAA.... Moving ONWARD and UPWARD. That's a big #Jeah.”
Lochte will be represented by a team of agents led by Lowell Taub, who also works with Olympic sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross, snowboarder Shaun White and skiers Bode Miller and Julia Mancuso.
