It is obvious that he has completely redefined the parameters of what we see as fast,\u00a0when <strong>Ryan Held<\/strong> swims an 18.58 50 freestyle and <strong>Michael Chadwick<\/strong> swims a 40.95 100 freestyle and people hardly bat an eye.<\/p>\n<p>Dressel solidified his place as the best short course\u00a0swimmer in history when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/caeleb-dressel-dethrones-joseph-schooling-100-fly-for-american-record\/\" target=\"_blank\">dethroned defending Olympic and NCAA champion<\/a> <strong>Joseph Schooling <\/strong>in his signature event, the 100 butterfly. Schooling set a blistering pace over the first 50, but Dressel closed in a ridiculous 22.88 over the second 50 to touch the wall first in a new American and NCAA record 43.58. It was a shocking result, but Dressel has made a habit of making the extraordinary look routine in his college career.<\/p>\n<p>This was the case on the second day of the meet where Dressel just missed his own NCAA record in the 50 freestyle twice with back to back 18.23 second swims, first leading off the 200 freestyle relay and then later in the individual 50 free. A few people, myself included, figured he was a little bit off compared to his scintillating form from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Like the tenacious competitor he has shown himself to be over his college career, he rebounded with an astounding final two days. In the preliminary heats of the 200 medley relay, Dressel anchored the Florida relay in a 17.71, the fastest split in history. He followed that up with the best 100-yard fly ever and finished the meet with a logic-defying 40.00 in the 100 freestyle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_210679\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-210679\" data-attachment-id=\"210679\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-week-that-was-stanford-women-highlight-week-of-college-invitationals\/caeleb-dressel-12\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/caeleb-dressel-2016-o-trials-9051.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.

Bick<\/p><\/div>\n<p>40.00 in the 100 free is an even more untouchable record than Dressel\u2019s 18.20 in the 50 free. Chadwick was nearly a second behind Dressel in a 40.95, which makes him the fourth fastest performer in history ahead of three-time 100 freestyle NCAA Champion and gold medalist <strong>Nathan Adrian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Dressel\u2019s time is on such a different level from anyone we have ever seen that it makes a time like Chadwick\u2019s seem insignificant. I vividly remember watching <strong>Vladimir Morozov<\/strong> blow away the field in the 100 free four years ago with an NCAA record 40.71 and thinking that it would stand for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Dressel has a remarkable combination of explosiveness and dexterity that makes him a rare athlete by swimming standards. He gets off the blocks noticeably better than his competitors and jumps out significantly further. If you follow him on Instagram you know he can effortlessly dunk a basketball and touch the flags from the side of the pool.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BDhH5Oat18Y\/?taken-by=caelebdressel&#038;hl=en<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen swimmers who are great athletes. I\u2019ve seen people that are kind of uncoordinated that are great swimmers. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen anyone with the combination that Dressel has. He has a better jump, better underwaters, and better hand speed than everyone he races against, and I don\u2019t see him slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n<p><i>All commentaries are the opinion of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alec Scott, Swimming World College Intern In just three years of collegiate swimming Caeleb Dressel has completely redefined short course sprinting.
