Great chemistry going on at UF. You can see why they’re drawing in more and more stars — and why they’re having success
Time for Simone Manuel to take the Nesty plunge.
First time I’ve seen Ledecky and Dressel be really relaxed and not giving “standard” cookie cutter answers. That was great. Thanks
The Allison Schmitt and Elizabeth Beisel one was funnier.

Willing to chip in for a SwimSwam tripod.
That was sooo great!! More interviews like that!!! Love seeing them relaxed and joking around.!
Lil off topic from the great interview, but assuming Dressel did a similar taper to the one he did in 2017, he could be really scary at worlds.
Here’s 2017, world trials to worlds.
21.53 – 21.15 50 free
47.97 – 47.17 100 free
50.87 – 49.86 100 fly
This year at trials he was
21.29
47.79
50.01 (prelims).
Possibly, but I remember one year he went 47 high at an in season meet in the 100 free and didn’t go much faster when rested/shaved, so you never really know.
I think that was 2018, where he had already qualified for Pan Pacs the year before. He also went a 50.3 or something in the 100 fly so that was his “trials” meet for all intensive purposes in terms of rest. Then the infamous motorcycle accident happened.
ah i remember when bobo, ol longhorn and others use to call him ‘motorcycle man’
If I remember in chronological order
1. 2018 NC’s happened
2. Right before nationals, motorcycle accident happens
3. Dressel gets second in the 50 free, 50 fly, and doesn’t do good in the 100 free at nattys.
4. Pan Pacs happen and Dressel doesn’t win the 50 free.
5. He recovers and uses those lessons from 2018 to be better for 19.
6. Breaks 48 in season on 3 occasions (and somewhere along the way picks up the 50 fly for worlds). Also goes 50.36 a few weeks before worlds.
7. Swims at worlds and ties Phelps for most medals won on the international stage. Also snags first individual LC world record.

He won the 100 fly at Nationals in 2018 and was 2nd in the 50 fly.
2nd 50 stroke spot goes to the 100 of stroke winner (or highest finisher at Pan Pacs, which is how he got the 100 free spot).
Yea that was 2019, and he went 46.96 at the end. Pretty sure he was rested for that high 47
24.5 last 50 incoming from Bobby
