Earlier this month we sent swimming photographer Mike Lewis to Gainsville to spend some time with University of Flordia senior Caeleb Dressel below the surface.
Undoubtedly, Dressel will be one of the highlights at the Men’s NCCA DI Championships this week and we’re getting psyched up (and we’re still riding the wave set by the women’s championship). Here’s a look at the underwater photography session with some new images from the Lewis and Dressel session.

Dear Caeleb Dressel,
Please PLEASE tuck in your suit strings at NCAA’s!! Don’t want to see you have to have another 40.00 situation this year.
Sincerely,
A concerned and anxious fan
We need more underwater pics and videos of dressel so I can study his technique lol. Best sprinter in the world surprised there’s almost no underwater footage of him out there.
MIKE LEWIS= GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER. Powerful, artistic images. Thanks.
He’s going to sweep all his events at ncaas
Individual events, right.
He’s going to do it in American record style
of course dressel has his strings hanging out… how typical
He even races that way.
Practice and pancakes with UF?
His body line in freestyle is perfect.
The breaststroke picture at the end is such a tease, acknowledging we could see something amazing but won’t 🙁
He may swim it in the Medley
Were gonna see something amazing regardless
