  • The summer of 2018 wasn’t as successful as for Caeleb Dressel as he had hoped, while fellow sprinter Michael Andrew racked up win after win at the Phillips 66 National Championships.
    That’s all in the past now, and Dressel has returned to training, hungry for this summer’s FINA World Championships. In the meantime, Andrew has had continued success at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Knoxville.
    “Off the Blocks,” Season 2 follows Dressel, Andrew and the other top USA Swimming National Team members as they compete in the TYR Pro Swim Series and prepare for the biggest competitions of the season, including the 2019 Open Water National Championships and the 2019 FINA World Championships.

    Honestly Caeleb is such an inspiration, he is probably my favorite swimmer ever. I think many swimmers can relate to him, he is very real and he shows what the sport is rly like.

      Btw USA just lost to GBR in 4x100m medley relay. Duncan Scott turned to become Jason Lezak version 2, caught Nathan Adrian to touch the wall first with stunning split : 46.14. It is the 2nd fastest of all time after Lezak's 46.06 in 2008 Olympic.
      What do you think ? Who is to blame ? Imo, Ryan Murphy. He swam 52.92, while theoretically 52.50 would have been enough. Besides, why not putting Blake Pieroni instead of Nathan Adrian ?

    What do you guys think about Michael Andrew's chances this summer at world championships?
    I think his best chance for gold is in the 50m butterfly. Let's face that he won't win (or even final) in any 100. Ben Proud will smoke him in the 50 free if Caeleb won't, it will take a world record to beat koleshnikov in the 50 back this summer and the only person that could've possibly challenged Peaty in the 50 breast is Cameron van der Burgh. I don't necessarily think Michael will win it, but the other 50s are just not up for grabs.
