Morning Splash<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the Olympics in Rio, the U.S. Olympic coaching staff entrusted a 19-year-old to set the tone in one of the Games\u2019 most anticipated races. In his very first Olympic swim, Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> would lead off the men\u2019s 400 free relay. Best to take advantage of his explosive start, the coaches figured.<\/p>\n

The decision paid off with gold. In the ensuing days, Dressel swam the men\u2019s 100 free and advanced to the final, swimming under 48 for the first time, and then he got another gold medal for his participation on the men\u2019s medley relay in prelims.<\/p>\n

Dressel had long oozed with sprint potential, and at the Olympics, he emphatically delivered. It was plenty reasonable to view the burgeoning star among the favorites in the 50 and 100 free and even the 50 fly, typically a sprinter\u2019s haven, at this week\u2019s U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

But Dressel has been far more than advertised this week. In the sprints, he has been about what one might have expected\u2014second place in the 100 free in 47.97, a few hundredths off his best time, and first place in the 50 fly in 23.05. But who would have figured that Dressel would also win the 100 fly and make the World Champs team for the 800 free relay as well?<\/p>\n

It was the butterflys where Dressel has surprised himself the most. In the 100 fly Thursday night, Dressel won by a half-second and put up a time of 50.87, the No. 1 time in the world this year. It\u2019s faster than any American, Michael\u00a0Phelps<\/strong> included, swam all of last year. At the Olympics, only gold medalist Joseph Schooling<\/strong> (50.39) went quicker.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the 200 free, a race that so many sprinters struggle to put together in the long course format. But Dressel pulled it off, finishing sixth in 1:47.51 to pick up a relay spot for Budapest.<\/p>\n

He figured out how he can navigate the four-lap race successfully: He can\u2019t go all-out from the gun\u2014or else he will fade, as sprinters are known to do in a 200\u2014but he still has to take advantage of his otherworldly power off the walls.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really bad at generating speed,” Dressel said. “If you were to start me from a dead stop, I\u2019d be really bad at it,\u201d he said. \u201cMy big thing is coming off the walls and breakouts. I\u2019ve got to be at the speed I want to be, or it\u2019s going to be hard for me to just switch it on like that.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For years, there has existed a traditional sprinter mold: Specialize in the 50 and 100 free, and swim those events every meet. Occasionally, maybe throw in a 50 or 100 fly or a 200 free, but that\u2019s a secondary focus. Nathan<\/strong> Adrian<\/strong>, the top American sprinter for the entirity last decade, hasn\u2019t raced anything in long course besides a 50 or 100 free in years.<\/p>\n

Dressel and his coach, Florida\u2019s Gregg<\/strong> Troy<\/strong>, had other plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training you do for the 200 extends his base to swim other things,\u201d Troy said. \u201cIt obviously hasn\u2019t hurt his speed at all\u2014we\u2019ll have a little bit better feel for it when he swims the 50. I think you can do all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Dressel is no longer just a sprinter. In Budapest, he and breaststroker Kevin Cordes<\/strong> will be the only U.S. men swimming three or more individual events\u2014and Dressel could still have four, pending his result in the 50 free at Nationals.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the conversations when we recruited him was, \u2018Do you want to be just a sprinter or do you want to extend what you\u2019re doing?\u2019\u201d Troy said. \u201cHis bread and butter certainly is the speed area, but if he wants to be great in Tokyo, he can\u2019t just focus on the 50 and 100 free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even as his fly and his 200 free have come around this year, Troy insists Dressel has made improvements in sprint free. He took three less stroke cycles in that race at Nationals than he did at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was our goal for this year, to be more efficient,\u201d Troy said. \u201cYou can\u2019t win on just turnover.\u201d<\/p>\n

After racing just five times at the Olympics last summer, Dressel is poised to play a much more central role for Team USA in Budapest. Three rounds of each of his individual races plus three relays comes out to 12 swims, pending the possible addition of the 50 free to his lineup.<\/p>\n

Troy thinks Dressel is physically and mentally tough enough to handle the massive load, but he did indicate they may consider paring down the schedule a little bit, noting that he and Dressel \u201care going to be sane about what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of what decisions they make about Budapest, it\u2019s clear that the Dressel has some versatility he\u2019s willing to show off. Troy, in fact, believes the 100 fly might end up becoming Dressel\u2019s best event in long course.<\/p>\n

This week at Nationals, Dressel\u2019s results have shaken up the conventional wisdom about his abilities and limitations and given the U.S. team a new wrinkle which could produce big results over the next few years.<\/p>\n
