By Gold Medal Mel Stewart on SwimSwam
Caeleb Dressel concerned me a little on the run-up to U.S. International Team Trials in Greensboro. I know the season was short, but he wasn’t swimming that fast. Still, I predicted solid swims, assuming the 7-time Olympic gold medalist knew what he was doing.
My predictions ahead of U.S Trials:100 fly Prediction – 50.2 – (Dressel final results 50.20)
50 free Prediction – 21.3 – (Dressel final results 21.29)
