WATCH: Caeleb Dressel’s Record-Breaking Swims From 2020 ISL Finale

2020 INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING LEAGUE FINAL – DAY 2

Caeleb Dressel was lights out at the 2020 ISL Grand Final, leading the Cali Condors to the league championship with 96 points over his nine swims in two days.

This included setting three new world records, as Dressel lowered his own marks in the 50 freestyle (20.16) and 100 individual medley (49.28), along with breaking Chad Le Clos‘ four-year-old record in the 100 butterfly (47.78).

Dressel also reset the American Record twice in the 100 free, getting the time down to 45.08 in the individual race after leading off the men’s 400 free relay in 45.18.

In addition to these record swims, he also won the 50 fly in 22.09, just shy of the national record he set in the semi-finals (22.04).

Below, watch all of Dressel’s record-setting swims from the ISL Final:

50 Freestyle — 20.16

Not at all, probably the most legal pullout you’ll see at an international competition

Legend. I think he is still improving though. There is more to see from him.

It’s just a crime that the camera panned to the Condors box during Dressel’s IM celebration… like whose idea was it to take the camera off a man who just dropped the single greatest swim in ISL history?
