The 2019 Men’s Division I NCAA Championships started off with a bang with SwimSwam legend Dean Farris leading off the 800 Free relay in an American Record 1:29.15, and SwimSwam photographer Jack Spitser (spitserphotography.com) was on deck to catch all the action of his phenomenal swim.

I heard they drug tested Dean Farris (for obvious reasons, doesn’t seem human) and they found some drug in his system that actually makes him worse. He took a drug that would dramatically hurt his performance just so racing would be more fun.
