Below, check out the race video from Caeleb Dressel‘s record breaking 100 breast at SECs. The Florida Gator broke the NCAA and American Records by .01, knocking Kevin Cordes‘s 2014 mark of 50.04 down with his 50.03.
The race video is courtesy of Texas A&M’s youtube channel.
Incredibly, Dressel now owns five NCAA/American Records, adding the 200 IM and 100 breast this week after already owning the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly.
Check out the five fastest performers of all-time in the 100 breast below:

What a beautiful swim! Does the 15m rule not apply to breaststroke? How is this not a DQ?
Kelly – there is no 15 meter rule in breaststroke, long course or short course.
This race demonstrates how different the LC breaststroke is from the SC version. He didn’t have to take many breaststrokes because he was underwater for so long completing his turns.
It is an awesome feat to have the SCY records in 3 of the 4 strokes. That’s why he easily broke the 200 IM record by over a second.
Reece is coming. This one may not last long.
I’d say this has still got a good 3 or 4 years. Don’t forget winter nats 2019… Dressel won’t be completely out of the scene
But yeah, Whitley’s closing 50 was the fastest in history. Scary stuff. Also hard to imagine how Dressels pullouts are better
I’d say there’s a 90+% chance Dressel is on gear
triple dolphins….. sheeet dude
he went past 15m on the start
What tech suit is Caeleb Dressel wearing???
Mizuno
Amazing swim for a non-breaststroker. It’s nice to see a successful breaststroke swim that doesn’t involve eight strokes per lap or sub-second tempo.
