On Sunday morning in the 200 breast prelims, Rhee swam a time of 2:17.74, under the Olympic Trials cut of 2:17.89. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was not a surprise for Rhee when he found out his time. He has swum faster in the past (2:15.15) but not since the Olympic Trials qualifying period opened in late November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI had some sense that I would make it before 2020, but I was really glad to be able to do it now\u201d he said, \u201cIt got a lot of pressure off of me knowing that I was officially going to the trials. It has been a dream come true. It has been something I wanted to do as a kid.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of cruising his morning swim and setting up a run at the Trials cut at night, Rhee got the job done in prelims. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #008000;\">\u201cI was really relieved, there have been a lot of times where I wasn\u2019t able to reach my goal time, or come close to it. I was afraid of that because I didn\u2019t want the pressure of going in for the afternoon. But now that I can race pressure free, I\u2019m excited to see what I can do tonight,\u201d Rhee said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a younger swimmer, Dylan would watch both the Olympics and Olympic Trials to learn from the swimmers participating in it. \u00a0\u201cI really enjoyed watching (<strong>Michael<\/strong>) <strong>Phelps<\/strong> and (<strong>Ryan<\/strong>) <strong>Lochte<\/strong> race in 2016. Also, <strong>Josh Prenot<\/strong> setting the 200 meter breaststroke American record, as I am a 200 breaststroker, that was really impressive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite his dream of making it to the Trials by 2020, Rhee did not picture himself there in his early teens, and he struggled with some doubt. \u201cWhen I was 13 and 14, I didn\u2019t really improve a ton. I was doubting that I ever would be able to make it up to that level, but the dream started to manifest itself and become a reality when I started high school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like many successful swimmers, Rhee has a \u201cswimming hero,\u201d or someone that he looks up to, and learns from. \u201cI really respect <strong>Zane Grothe<\/strong> after reading about him and seeing all of the struggles he had, and now that he has finally made it on the international and national stage. I really respect how much persistency he has had over the years,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few hours after securing his Trials cut, Rhee was riding the excitement of his first Trials cut as he swam the 200 breast in finals. The result? Even faster: 2:17.56. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhee pumped his fist, his mission accomplished.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hannah Grynberg, Swimming World Intern.
