In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges, Garrett McCaffrey, and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.
Gold Medal Mel Stewart sat down with sports icon Jason Lezak, the man who anchored the most exciting race in Olympic swimming history, the 2008 men’s 4×100 free relay. Lezak unpacks Team USA’s gold medal performance last night, detailing Dressel’s leadoff, the exchanges and Zach Apple‘s monster anchor swim.

I’m glad that Mel, you said you watch thru USA lenses.
How you could not think Chalmers is not a threat to Dressel.
The guy is a beast, but the guy is also the 100 free defending champion & wanting to join the greats by going back to back & he is also 2 years younger then Dressel.
Emma’s – 51.7 and Kyle’s – 46.75 flat start
Americans having troubles getting their head around those times.
Aussie women are a real chance of winning 50 to 400
I think the 50 will be possible but harder just because of more contenders, but yeah, Emma and Arnie look good for the 100 and 200.
Can we dream of the 800 as well?
….you know, I’d love to see any women drop a 51.7 100 free…and if Chalmers is 46.7 flat start, I will be on my feet cheering…. BUT if anyone’s going 46.7, I think it’s the man with nitro in his veins–CAELEB DRESSEL!
No they don’t and they haven’t gone them. Chalmers can’t get out fast enough to go 46.7. Sorry.
King Kyle!!!!
…..Retta Race never let’s me forget Chalmers is a huge threat (and I’m a Chalmers fan….but a wee bit more of a Dressel fan…)
Glad you are a fan of both racers. I assume you are also a fan of ALL swimmers! “A wee bit more of a Dressel fan?” I assume you mean 1 million times more a fan of Dressel!
At the end of the 100 Free at Gwangju, did you see Chalmers raise Caeleb’s hand / arm in celebration? That is sportsmanship – King Kyle doesn’t want to lose ever, AND he’s a great sport too. May the best racer win!
Those two are my favorite rivalry because even though they are fierce in the pool they have huge respect for one another outside the water. You mentioned Chalmers raising Dressel’s hand in 2019 and right after that Dressel spent half of his post race interview talking about what a beast Chalmers is.
I also remember when everything was getting shut down in March last year hearing something about Dressel reaching out to Chalmers and asking if he would want to come to Florida if he was unable to train at home. I don’t have a source on that but I don’t think I made that one up. I would love for the two of them to be on the… Read more »
No worries, we are all a little blinded by our love for our favourite swimmers from our own country.
King Kyle to two peat & aim for 3 peat in Paris.
