U.S. Olympic hero Ryan Lochte attempted a social experiment yesterday -- could he still land chicks while wearing the dumbest bathing suit imaginable? The answer, of course, was yes. 

Lochte donned a pink Speedo of his own design while frolicking around at the Azure Luxury Pool at The Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas.

Lochte wore the swimsuit in a competition last year and showed it off (but didn't actually put it on) during his appearance on "The Tonight Show" earlier this week.
