It’s great to have confidence, but is challenging an Olympic champion like Caeleb Dressel a good idea? Well, certainly not if it’s about swimming. Even though the 25-year-old is struggling a bit with his form lately, Caeleb is still a seven-time Olympic gold medalist. If that doesn’t daunt you as a challenger, then you can possibly try anything in your life.

The American swimmer Caeleb Dressel is one of the most incredible athletes and is often seen as the successor of swimming legend Michael Phelps. His records in the Olympics have been more than impressive. Furthermore, the champion currently holds world records in the 100-meter butterfly, 50-meter freestyle, and 100-meter individual medley.

Who is challenging Caeleb Dressel?

Well, the man who has challenged the swimming champion is the American comedian and TV personality Bert Kreischer. Recently, Bert’s challenge with the swimming brand speedo expired, so he came up with a new one. The comedian posted a video on Twitter of him swimming and challenging Caeleb in the category in which he holds a world record.

In the video, Burt said, “Here’s the new offer. I go head to head with your best Caeleb Dressel in the 50 free.” He further wrote in the caption, Hey @speedo, I’m still a free agent and I have a new offer. I’ll give you a hint it rhymes with Caeleb Dressel.”
