LOS ANGELES -- Ryan Lochte is dipping his toe into the waters of scripted television.

Olympic swimmer Lochte, who just racked up five medals at the London games, will follow up his triumph at the Olympics with an appearance on the CW's "90210," CBS said on Tuesday.

Lochte will cameo as a guest at a resort where Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord) and Max Miller (Josh Zuckerman) are staying in an effort to strengthen their relationship.

The episode will air October 29 at 8 p.m.

Alas, Lochte won't be showing off his swimming skills during his appearance.

"We only wish the episode was a surf event so we could have gotten him in the water, but he deserves a little rest on dry land," "90210" executive producers Patti Carr and Lara Olsen said of his cameo.
