Tokyo Olympics 2020 star swimmer Caeleb Dressel is now part of the elite list, comprising Michael Phelps and others. Dressel topped the Olympic medal charts with five gold medals at the mega-event.

Caeleb outclassed his opponents, breaking world records, including his own. Having an Olympic champion at home must be an influence on the Dressel family to swim. Apparently, Caeleb has been training his dog in the same way as an Olympic swimmer.

Dressel posted a video of his dog swimming in the pool with him. While he is the fastest man, his dog has stunned everyone with her speed.

Caeleb’s furry companion’s start was insanely perfect as she tucked her paws before jumping. It looks like she had been doing the Olympic training alongside Dressel. Other swimming stars like Sarah Sjostrom also commented saying, “Amazing, she would crush me in 25m for sure.”

Sarah is a Swedish swimmer and the current world record holder in the 100-meter freestyle, the 50-meter butterfly, and the 200-meter freestyle. At Tokyo Olympics, she clinched the silver medal in women’s 50m freestyle swimming.
