University of Florida head coach Gregg Troy sat down with Swimming World’s David Rieder at the ASCA World Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale to discuss the performances of the Olympic athletes he trained in the lead-up to Rio.

Troy commented in particular on Caeleb Dressel, who earned a pair of relay golds in Rio, as well as women’s team captain Elizabeth Beisel, and he also offered commentary on why Conor Dwyer had such a successful second Olympic Games.

Troy was not on the coaching staff for these Games after serving as the men’s head coach four years ago in London, and he compared the experience of coaching a Games versus watching from home, and he also discussed beginning the new quad with his college team, that now includes Dressel and freshman Maxime Rooney.
