Caeleb Dressel is once again back in the game. While the past couple of weeks were full of doubts about his form, the seven-time Olympic gold medalists proved why he is still the best in the swimming world. He came into the trials for the world championships as the sixth-fastest swimmer in the country. However, when the water settled down, Caeleb was again at the top.

Since coming back from the Tokyo Olympics, Caeleb Dressel was not in great form. In fact, he lost a couple of races in the NCAA events. Perhaps he was just looking for a big stage to showcase his talent, or maybe the change of coach finally worked for him.
