Again I want to apologize for the mix up with left from right breathing pattern. I was nervous doing this the first time. Got lost in the numbers a little. Hard to talk to yourself for 15min. I’ll get better at it I promise.

[@VStrizzy]

No worries mate, this is top notch content

[@AWPswim]

Loved it Brett, great to hear such detail. So hard to see in real time! Although if you did a breaststroke analysis it would be lost on me!

[@Shmako1]

Great analysis. I agree that the reaction at the end says it all. Caeleb has spoken a lot about disliking straight arm, and when he popped up with that huge open stroke I laughed. It was almost like Caeleb just had fun for this whole race and then smiled that it was still a 47. I wouldn't be surprised if someone dared him to do a 47 with straight arm stroke lol. Edit: To be fair to Caeleb, it's not really 100% Straight Arm. It's no Manaudou, but for HIM it's still very interesting and different.

[@chrisdcoach]

This is the best Brett Hawke content. I want more of these!!

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

On it

[@softwarekabaapno1]

Dressel should pay you for this! Great stuff mate.

[@riverbnds]

I do hope he sees this analysis. Spot on IMO

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

I sent it to him

[@sorinsorensen6086]

I agree with you about the smirking, he talked about taking some time to have fun and enjoy life outside the pool so I think that him taking that time after such a great Olympics, and still being able to come back with very minimal rest (I'm guessing a week at most). I think it'll be similar to 2017 where he was much slower at World Trials and crushed his PB at the big meet (47.9 down to 47.1 from trials to worlds). Maybe not a WR but definitely down in that range again. Loved the analysis, would love to see more as the meet goes.

[@newo7692]

I thought it’s interesting how he’s been doing more of a straight arm, especially since he’s said how he does not like straight arm. I wonder what’s changed

[@carmelopearman5721]

It looks too badass not to do it

[@willyuan7967]

I have always thought Caeleb's stroke looks like Fred Bousquet's, especially the above water hand placement. Both got some badass tattoos as well.

[@gushurz6038]

Absolutely love it!! Great analysis!

[@xiaoqiu3297]

Thanks for your analysis

[@bp7152]

Great analysis watched every minute. thx for posting.

[@Chris-pw7ov]

Great stuff! Love this kind of analysis.

[@BenHammond25]

Great commentary and analysis!

[@gia.besquie2996]

So interesting!! Thanks for this.

[@mackenziekallevig1287]

This is the guy I want to analysis my races lol

[@VStrizzy]

Just become the best in the world

[@jryan1024]

Not fully rested, no doubt. Will be sharper at Worlds. What's with the more accentuated straight arm and the suggestion that he is breathing on the other side? You missed a good 1500 by Finke and the Kid from Ohio State.

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

I totally messed that up. He breathes left not right. Same side as usual. My bad

[@jryan1024]

@@InsidewithBrettHawke No worries, I really appreciate your channel and your intelligent commentary. You and Nate make us feel like welcome members of a friendly and knowledgeable swim community in your watch parties.

[@i.d.9587]

would love you to be reacting to footage at the same time

[@lucassalatin1503]

Super fast, thanks!!

[@cathydurden6069]

Loved this!

[@InsidewithBrettHawke]

Thanks Cathy!

[@ElectroPenguin]

the guy are a machine

[@snowpants2212]

I'd love to hear someone ask Dressel about his hand-pitching/wrist-breaking underwater. How he thinks about it, whether he thinks he sometimes overdoes it. Also, why has he been long going into his 100 free turns? Is he between stroke counts?

[@ronaldhehn3579]

This is awesome !

[@321ssteeeeeve]

I bet you are very accurate

[@neophytoscharalambides9073]

He’ll study your analysis even more and pick on it 😏
