Caeleb Dressel on fatherhood - "It’s probably hurt more than helped me as a swimmer but it's definitely taught me patience"

Caeleb Dressel has been at his usual best following the return from a mental health break, and after welcoming his son August early last year, the 28-year-old claimed it had further derailed his swimming career. However, he isn't complaining and said fatherhood was a very fulfilling experience for him.

“It’s probably hurt more than helped me as a swimmer but it's definitely taught me patience. It's taught me to slow down. The only two things I've been able to do is father stuff and swimming in the run up to Paris 2024,” Caeleb Dressel told Olympics.com in an interview in July 2024.

“It's definitely a different routine, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. It's been very fulfilling and I’ve loved stepping into that role with Megan,” he added.

The 9-time Olympic champion failed to defend his 50m freestyle and 100m butterfly title at the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, he won three medals nonetheless - gold in 4x100m freestyle and 4x100m mixed medley and a silver in the 4x100m medley.
