By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

He\u2019s accomplished just about everything one could want in the sport of swimming. And after three Olympics and eight medals, five of them gold, Nathan Adrian<\/strong> has returned to competition for another go-round.<\/p>\n

If it seems like Adrian has been around forever, there\u2019s good reason for that. Remember the epic 400 free relay between the U.S. and France in 2008, the one where Jason Lezak<\/strong> split 46.06 on the anchor leg to win gold for the Americans? Well, Adrian was there.<\/p>\n

He was not on that finals relay, but he swam in the prelims and thus earned his first gold medal that day in Beijing. He was 19 years old at the time, and he had snuck onto the Olympic team only after winning a swim-off to make the 100 free final at Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n

Almost nine years later, Adrian considers that experience in Beijing a formative one.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often think back on that. I think I was just very lucky to observe a lot of great swimmers do their thing before I was ready to step on the international stage on an individual level,\u201d he said. \u201cI took different things from different people because emulating one person is not the right way for me, but taking different tidbits from how people approach their races or their training is important.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After that, Adrian spent the better part of the next eight years as the top sprinter in the country. In 2009, Adrian filled the Lezak role, anchoring the gold medal-winning 400 free relay team at the World Championships. The next year, he upset world record-holder Cesar Cielo<\/strong> to win the 100 free at the Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n

His signature individual accomplishment came in 2012, when he touched out heavily favored James Magnussen<\/strong> for gold in the 100 free by one hundredth of a second.<\/p>\n

He did not win any individual golds in 2016, but he did take home\u00a0individual bronzes in both the 50 and 100 free and anchored American 400 free and medley relays to gold, his reliability\u00a0on that final leg long since established.<\/p>\n

After all that, Adrian could have easily called it quits, his legacy secure as one of the great sprinters in U.S. history. But he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Adrian laid low for a while after Rio, but he was back in the racing pool seven months later. He made his competitive return\u00a0at the Arena Pro Swim Series meet in Indianapolis, where he won the 100 free in 48.66 and tied for first in the 50 free in 22.09.<\/p>\n

At this weekend’s Arena Pro meet in\u00a0Mesa, Adrian went much quicker. He\u00a0dominated the 100 free and posted a time of\u00a048.18<\/a>, second in the world for 2017 behind only Cameron McEvoy<\/strong> (47.91)\u2014and ahead of Olympic gold medalist Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> (48.20). It\u2019s one of the quickest in-season times Adrian has ever recorded.<\/p>\n

Surely, such a quick time this early in the season must have been a surprise\u2014right?<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. No. I don\u2019t know,\u201d Adrian said. \u201cI didn\u2019t really go into here with any numbers in mind. This has really been about the feel. We\u2019re slowing down the stroke rate the first 50 and trying to bring it home good. It\u2019s more about executing a race plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s had more success over the two-lap freestyle sprint than anyone else over the last decade, but Adrian is not afraid to change things up. Quite the opposite. Typically a front-half burner, he has focused this season on coming home under 25 seconds, particularly after Chalmers finished in 24.44 on his way to Olympic gold.<\/p>\n

But Adrian is more than just willing to change. He embraces the experimental aspect of his training with longtime coach Dave<\/strong> Durden<\/strong>, and he actually credits his longevity in that sport in part to Durden\u2019s willingness to innovate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just really, really happy that Dave is receptive to doing things differently,\u201d Adrian said. \u201cI think it\u2019s really fun. He doesn\u2019t have an ego where he\u2019s like, \u2018We have to do it this way,\u2019 and \u2018This is how we\u2019re going to be the fastest.\u2019 It\u2019s, \u2018Hey Dave, what do you think about this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Few coach-athlete partnerships have lasted so long, and as Durden and Adrian begin their third Olympic cycle working together, the signs have already been positive. Even after his layoff, there\u2019s plenty of reason to believe that Adrian will be at or near the top of his game come U.S. Nationals this summer in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gotten some attention for his return, and surely that 48-low effort in Mesa will only bring more attention, but he\u2019s been far from the center of the American sprint hype train\u2014a train currently being driven at full speed by Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, that\u2019s well-deserved\u2014the Florida junior just swam a 40.00 in the 100 free at the NCAA championships and posted a 17.86 relay split, both times the fastest in history. He\u2019s poised for another big drop in long course after going under 48 for the first time on his way to the 100 free Olympic final in Rio.<\/p>\n

In the stands that night in Indianapolis when Dressel swam\u00a0his 40.00, Adrian gushed in awe of that effort. Now, with other sprinters like Ryan<\/strong> Held<\/strong>, Blake Pieroni<\/strong> and Michael Chadwick<\/strong> all riding high off their college season, Adrian sees great potential for the U.S. men\u2019s 400 free relay team this summer, a squad he hopes to be a part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t too long ago when people were saying, \u2018Where\u2019s American sprinting? Where\u2019s American sprinting?\u2019\u201d Adrian pointed out. \u201cBut we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if Adrian has his way, he won\u2019t be going away anytime soon<\/a>. While plenty of his Olympic teammates won\u2019t commit to swimming beyond a year-to-year basis, Adrian shows no hesitation in acknowledging that 2020 is very much in his plans.<\/p>\n

But the next Olympics in Tokyo are a long way away, and as much as he wants to excel at the World Championships, Adrian knows that this year he must exercise some patience.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really have to calm down a little bit. Last year, I ate, breathed, lived swimming. I had this immense feeling of guilt if I was out doing anything besides recovering on the weekends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the sake of my mental health and my longevity in the sport, I don\u2019t treat it that way this year. It would be easy to because the Olympics are exciting. You want more, and you want to go to the World Championships, and we want to win that, too. But four years is a long time, so we have to treat this year for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
