Olympics 2021: Chase Kalisz wins Team USA’s first medal at Games, other men’s swimming highlights and updates

In men’s swimming, Caeleb Dressel is the main attraction — though he will not get in the pool until Tuesday. He has blossomed into one of the most impressive men’s swimmers that the sport has to offer.

Dressel, 24, won his first gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay. In the finale of the event, Dressel swam in the lead-off leg in 48.10, which was the second-fastest opening leg in that field. The American team, which consisted of Dressel, Michael Phelps, Ryan Heid and Nathan Adrian, recorded a team time of 3:09.92 to win the gold medal.

Dressel also participated in the last 4×100-meter medley relay in which he recorded a freestyle time of 47.74 in the heats. He earned his second gold medal of the 2016 Olympics in the process. In addition, Dressel finished in sixth place in the 100-meter freestyle event.

Dressel holds United States records in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle and the 50-meter and 100-meter butterfly events. He also holds a short course record in both the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events, 100-yard butterfly and the 200-yard individual medley.

Needless to say, Dressel is someone to keep an eye on during these Games. Below is the complete schedule of events Caeleb Dressel is set to compete in. His events get underway on Tuesday. Below is his schedule:
