The Dressels first announced their pregnancy in July 2023. The swimmer shared a picture of him standing cozily with his wife, holding pictures of the baby’s ultrasound. He captioned it,

"Mom and Dad ☺️❤️"

Caeleb Dressel at Budapest 2022 FINA World Championships: Swimming - Day 2

In 2022, Caeleb Dressel withdrew his name from the world championship. The swimmer cited that immense competition pressure had taken a toll on his mental health, which is why he stepped back from the sport for nearly a year.

Dressel attempted to make his comeback at the 2023 US National Championship. However, the swimmer gave a series of poor performances in the four events he entered.

Moreover, when Dressel’s coach Anthony Nesty was asked about his performance, he told Reuters,

"He's mentally where he needs to be, physically, not yet. But his strokes are good. He's felt good in all his strokes... now we just need to get a full year of training and weights in and he'll be okay."

Dressel came third in the 50-meter butterfly, fifth in the 100-meter butterfly, and 19th in the 100-meter freestyle. He had his final chance to qualify for this year’s world championship by excelling in the 50m freestyle. However, the swimmer blew his chance as he came 22nd, just 1.07 seconds behind the winner.
