When asked by Seacrest if he has ever peed in the pool before, he replied: "Of course. We always do."
On whether he has done so during the London 2012 Olympics, he said: "Not during the races, but I sure did before in warm-up."
He added: "There's something about getting into chlorine water that you just automatically go."
The Team USA member's mother recently revealed that her son often has one-night-stands, as he has no time for real relationships.
