Dressel is clearly a freak athlete. A very rare specimen. What swimmer besides him even has a 41 inch vertical leap!? That's insanity!

One detail wrong: Caeleb is awesome, but he can't surface at 15 meters under 4 seconds. It's under 5 seconds, which is still INSANE. Like that 41 inch vertical.

[@yajairagiselleperez1251]

Caleb and Ryan . great

[@geowillia6325]

So humble

[@zhao4113]

Hes fast because 1 his reaction time is the best 0.69 2 his underwaters go all the way to 15 meters 3 his strokes are fast and powerful 4 his finish is great The weakest part of his race is prob the turn even though its still fast

[@iicettea]

0.69 is not that fast, about avg. I would say

[@erickm8855]

@Bryson Reins the reaction time is the time from the buzzer to the swimmer leaving the block

[@avocatious6402]

I'd say his turns are one of the best. How can they not be? He dominated scy when he was a collegiate swimmer. Also, a lot of elite swimmers go to 15 meters, so it's not just getting there, he simply does it faster. If anything his stroke would be his weakest attribute (except for fly), but even that is world class, and definitely above other elite athletes

[@KaninManeepairoj]

He is hilarious

[@drpepperfresca]

Reda, thanks for reaching back out. I appreciate your interest. I was in Rio myself covering the Olympics. It can be confusing about how they award medals, but here's what I learned. An athlete may not swim the final relay but if he is on the relay team and it wins gold, he wins gold, too. That's why Caeleb won a second gold medal in Rio. Here's one reference, information you'll see on many reliable websites: swimswam.com/bio/caeleb-dressel

[@MattePurple1]

I kinda liked this feature.

[@thefiles2501]

Stop picking on the narrator! She sounds nice almost like Hoda Kotb. She's making it interesting for non-swimmers with her method of speaking. We need non-swimmers to get interested in the sport.

For someone that doesn't follow swimming much, she sure did a pretty good job hitting all the main points of Caeleb, he is a powerhouse!

2:32 what is this guy even talking? the line we are looking for? he crouches like everybody else in the world does. Also that specific line doesnt even do anything. Even crazier that he is so good with that nonsense the coach is talking.

[@mrwillwgp]

I will agree, his comment about no bubbles in the hands, really? It's not about any of that, its more about the power and the acceleration of swinging his arms forward to pull again, and longevity of his streamlines. You start talking about bubbles in hands and lines of starting block pose, I'm out of here.

is he the next michael phelps?

[@kenwshwu5712]

[@alinegutierrez7231]

He is the first caeleb dressel

[@simflying]

He have perfect starts, but seem as he swims freestyle by brute power and not by style when moves arms straight from backward to forward.

[@tbpkenobi8118]

What is that supposed to mean

[@joshualiu444]

Sprint technique should have straighter arms

[@ccbgaming6994]

Not true. His style is fine for sprinting. What matters most is what happens under the under with his catch and pull; that’s where the power is

[@dalenesbitt]

He has a windmill style, which is what all of the top sprinters use now.

[@stingyaviation]

Maybe he’s fast, because he’s one of the greatest swimmers in the world, or maybe it’s because he destroyed a gas station bathroom and claimed that he’s was jumped and mugged while on his way home after the 2016 Olympics! Oh oops! That was Ryan Lochte! Sorry Caeleb! My bad!

A little bit too much. So he beats the others with around a second, and sometimes lose to Andrew, but suddenly he is amphibious... bs.

[@zenokalo7438]

A second in sprints is an enormous amount lead, you know that, right? Last world's he beat the crap out of everyone he went up against including Kyle Chalmers so the title is somewhat appropriate don't you think?
