The Speedo Sub20 Challenge with Caeleb Dressel 

I think he could do it he just needs a more competitive atmosphere

He went 20.16 in ISL because he had people to race against. Put him and Manaudou in these suits and they’ll both go sub 20

swimming alone, outside, even with a super suit couldn't compare to the ISL atmosphere of lights, music, fast pool and competition. fantastic job caeleb, nothing against him at all

The dude gonna break 20 without a suit just give him a couple more years in isl

The camera man had to swim just as fast underwater to get the shot

“the suit doesn’t make the man, the man makes the suit” - Caeleb Dressel 2020

He is one of those swimmers (like Phelps) that this suit doesn't do much for him since he is already buoyant (long torso, short legs, long upper body)

What a beast!!!! 🔥 20.4 "warmup" lol

The starting block actually predicted the time "20.4"

He'll do it next year in the isl without this suit. He just keeps getting better and better. Huge credit to him, incredibly humble and always learning

Do this again in a racing settings. I bet you will see all those amazing 50 freestylers going sub 20

Caeleb is the best swimmer, so a joy to watch! After seeing numerous interviews and a video of his wedding, he is a super nice person, who I always wish the best for in swimming and life!!

I can only imagine the level of discomfort walking in the suit

He can go sub 20. He needs to race with that suit multiple times so he can get used to it and then he will break 20.

What a beautiful man.

I wish they would've got him a suit that would fit him. It's still incredible to see him go that fast after so many weeks of training and tapering so I'm not too surprised, would've been cool to see him swim something else rather than a 50 SCM Free because that's probably one of the worst events for him to do.

These suits are so astronomically different. Without days of training and stroke modification you will not swim faster.

well i was very happy to go sub 30" during practice this morning hahahahaha

You ain't gonna let this man warm up first?

The greatest athletes are the most humble. Great people make great athletes.

I don't know why RU-vid recommended this for me, but I am glad they did 😍😍

these suits are basically body compression socks designed to streamline everything. He's amazing and, like he says, the man makes the suit not the other way around.

I think this highlights how important the environment of competition is. Plus the suit favours the bigger guys on top of the water. Dressel is the quickest guy UNDER WATER which is why he is so good short course

@5:26 what is the purpose of this pool scene?

Advertising speeedo sooooo muchhhhhh seriously funnny toooo muchhhhhh 💋

His wrist bends like crazy during the pull. I wonder if he sometimes ends up overdoing that because it makes him feel like he's pulling faster. A similar thing can happen with certain high-drag body positions, where the feeling of water hitting certain parts of your body faster makes you feel like you're going faster, when actually it's slowing you down. If you felt no drag, you wouldn't feel fast...

Bro what! crazy Fast times. When does that colorway of the goggles come out!! SO CLEAN

Does anyone else thought he was gonna make it?

Exactly why would isolate racer from the result race; removing the stimulant for instinct/gut/hunger. they should've done a 1on1 race with morozov or manadou or bruno.

the real question is where I can find a sweater like that?

Great motivational video. Hope my students will be inspired watching this

How do I swim straight? I keep going in different directions 😩

why is he doing two 25m laps instead of one 50 meter lap?

Where can I get those goggles he wore in the beginning

I THINK THE ACTUAL REASON IS THE NEW FEEL OF THE SUIT, HE CAN GO FASTER THE VERY NEXT TIME AS HE WILL BE USED TO IT

Is this short course? Because I remember a guy in my highschool doing that and he wasn't exactly and Olympian lol. Just a bit confused no shade

Cesar Cielo: The most underrated swimmer of all time Change my mind

Why are they still making suits that will be illegal? What’s the point? We’ve already been through this in 2008. Actually looks like it’s hurting Caeleb in the 50. I imagine it’ll help in longer events, but Dressel said it, it floated him up when he wanted to stay with his underwaters.

Cool to watch this! What’s totally uncool Speedo, is not offering the full AUS range across the world. EU available briefs now BORING AF!

I love Caeleb's mindset!

Champ 😻😻😻, swimming this is power 💪💪💪

where could I get those goggles? with the rainbow lens

Omg this was at splash la Mirada?????? I live so close !!!! Dude dressel come have food in Long Beach haha

To test a suit a long course and longer distance will show if the suit is faster

Beware of using full body suit even randomly like that cause it can fuck up your whole approach of your technique, the way you move efficiently in the water without it with textile suit. Technique is something that can take many years to set and adjust to perfection or near it, and much less time to screw it up, it's not a thing to play around if you wanna stay consistent at the highest level the longest time possible. Edit : nothing to do with what I wrote above but this full body suit is oversized on Caeleb, it can be seen by all the abnormal little creases and pleats, it should be all smooth and tight instead like on Beizel.

The myth, the man, the legend

Competition , tapered and the new future speedo suit 18.9

It’s still crazy fast

I've had a meet at that same exact pool.

The video of him standing on the floor is insane

3:20 THE CAMERA MAN🤣

When you're a Survivor fan and you accidentally stumble upon Elizabeth in this video.

This is the sort of content than swimming is missing

Why isn’t it a 50m pool?

Was he rested for this?

What I don't understand is why Speedo is promoting a suit that was banned from competition in 2009. Are they lobbying FINA to rescind the rule against buoyant suits so that they can sell them? The mandate for textile suits is something I firmly agree with, and swimming has evolved to the point where those 2009 Frankensuit records are due to fall because of improvements in training and technique.

These suits ruined swimming. The days of the real SPEEDO were the best.

New speed sockets?

lol give this man an arena x carbon glide he's going sub 10

I'm so confused, is this the offical sub-20 challenge I thought it was today

GUYS THIS IS POGCHAMP ISNT IT

5:08 music?

I miss seeing Thorpe in the full body suit.

what an absolute beast.

I guess he could swim more faster he just needs swim suit which fits so much for him. His swim suit is kind of large.

Pls try it again. He can do it. #changinghistory

Takes me 20 seconds to dive into the pool.

That's a really cool suit

Wait I’m confused didn’t he go a 17.6 or sumthin like that

Put a 1 million dollar prize there and he can make it.

I'm sorry i don't mean to be so vain but that is one beautiful white male. From his skin, tan, arm sleeve, face, body, haircut to his feet.. i mean.. he really is great to look at 😊

why did he wear a speedo underneath it

I love you caeleb😘😘😘😘😘

that's insane for being in the middle of training

Thought it was gonna be long course

male power--nothing like it!

Hes gonna break 20 in both SCM and LCM no cap. in 2022.

I like Caeleb!!!

I want to see this LCM.

Waah!!!.this is awesome.

Well done FINA for banning the suits

History is going to be made. Come in it’s a commercial.

Very cool.

Get this guy tapered and in the suit he’d easily go sub 20. Didn’t look like he was wearing the suit high enough to be honest, it’s not meant to have wrinkles around the hips.

I bet I could go faster if they'd let me swim naked, but that'd defeat the purpose of Speedo, right?

It's not possible to take a time in that relaxed condition. In ISL he made 20.16 because of there was a title and he raced against a lot of important swimmers like Florant Manadou. If he swim in that suit against Florant Manadou i think he will be more motivated because is not the suit that make the time of the swimmer but the swimmer and the training that make the time... I'm shure he can beat the 20s GO DRESSEL💪💪

My pr is 24sec idk how anyone gets lower Jesus I’d like to try this suit

Anticlimactic

they should just keep the suits but put the times in a different category

The suit is magic. The world record is 20.91 and he beat it in the first run. I hope that this suit will be banned in races.

Get the man one that fits!

Now this begs the question can we now lift the ban from the suit? The answer in my opinion is truly maybe think about it Caleb could have probably beaten it without a fast skin. I think what cake he said is truly remarkable I think Fina and USA swimming should change the rule most definitely

Swimming’s equivalent of breaking 2

this is a real shame that this awesome swimming suit is banned

i’m not even a swimmer but i swam a 50 one time with the other divers and i swam it in 40 seconds. he did it twice as fast as me lol

The suit doesn’t do much for skinny guys. It makes a huge difference for people like me who are short and stocky as it helps our legs float better and helps us exacerbate our power. When I was 14 I went 102 in the 100 breast in 2009 it took me until 2011 to break a minute. I would’ve been a low 50s breastroker if they kept the suits. Really depends how you’re built. Not saying the suit was an excuse for me to swim slower but to not get back to your best time as an eighth grader as a freshman was psychologically difficult. The suits made a lot of swimmers who they are and many wouldn’t be Olympians without them. Over 12 years later there are still super suit records that will never be broken. Looking back, I wish they never existed.

Cielo, the best!!!

That was very anti climatic

Not Cielo

next try is in 202020 on the 2020th anniversary
