Though, as first-time parents, they're navigating uncharted waters, the duo feel confident in the blueprint drawn by their own families. "We both grew up with great parents who taught us a bunch," said New York native Lochte. "So there's no doubt in our minds we're going to be great parents."

"He has such long arms and legs," noted the former Playboy model. "His feet are huge. He's a spider monkey!"

Lochte won't push Caiden to take up swimming specifically. "I want him to be very active, but I want him to choose what he wants to do," said the season 23 Dancing With the Stars alum. "Whatever he does, I want him to go all in. I don't want him to half-ass anything."

Caiden's first big role will be in his parents' wedding, happening this fall. "I want to put him in a carriage and have him roll down the aisle with the rings," said Reid. Then, they hope to travel (Lochte noted an upcoming swim competition in Rome will be "a little vacation") — and focus on family. Joked Lochte, "I've already said, 'So when is the second kid coming?'"
