\u201cIt feels good: there\u2019s no way around it, it does feel good.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou feel buoyant: the most important thing about swimming is that you want to be as high in the water as you possibly can. You\u2019re high in the water, there\u2019s less drag, you\u2019re going to be faster. It\u2019s just how it works.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt good, I felt buoyant. I felt sweet. I felt like the man to be honest. It actually felt like it was a super-suit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There will be no world record should Caeleb Dressel dip below 20.16 regardless of whether he goes sub-20 or not given the suit is outlawed.<\/p>\n
The two-time Olympic relay champion insists the emphasis on Thursday is about fun and seeing what he can do and wherever that may take him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a good time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not trying to prove anything: I\u2019m not trying to slap anybody in the face by saying look at me, look at what I can do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to have a good time because I have no idea what I can go off the back of training.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to step up on the blocks with an iconic suit, the historic suit of the iconic brand that I work with and see where we can go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want it be fun. I just want to give a little buzz to the sport of swimming and end 2020 with a bang and hopefully I can swim it fast but I really don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know what to expect.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like I\u2019m shaved; (I\u2019m) coming down from a six-week series of meets like ISL with a little rest in there.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019ll just see what I can go and I think it\u2019ll be fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost more fun that way: I don\u2019t know maybe I\u2019ll be under 20, maybe I won\u2019t but I tell you what, I hope I have a good time doing it either way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All the long-course world records in men\u2019s freestyle bar the 1500m were set in 2009 with all the men\u2019s relay marks dating from 2008\/09.<\/p>\n
Aso standing are the world records set by Michael Phelps<\/strong> in the 400IM at Beijing 2008 and Aaron Peirsol<\/strong> in the 200 back in Rome a year later.<\/p>\n
All but two of the women\u2019s WRs \u2013 the 200 free and 200 fly \u2013 have been consigned to history.<\/p>\n
Dressel is quick to nod to those achievements, saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to undermine anything people have done in the suit which is the biggest thing I am adamant about doing this challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to slap anyone in the face. The swimmer makes the suit, the suit does not make the swimmer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see where I can go with the aid of the suit. I think it does offer a benefit, how much I\u2019m really not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
