At the delayed Tokyo Games, he swam in five races, sweeping with golds.
He took eight months away from the pool to assess his mental healthand even considered retiring.
Dressels demeanor was upbeat, even happy-go-lucky.
I was playing Nintendo right before I came down here, he admitted.
I want to have a go at do that again [in France].
I couldve done a better job of it in Tokyo.
Thats where Team USA becomes Team USA.
Of his physical preparation, Dressel said, I do better under tough training.
I like itit helps give me confidence behind the block.
I guess you’ve got the option to say that work works.

And the girls said, Oh, its Kims brand.
We were all super jealous.
(Skims launched menswear after the Tokyo Games.)
I wear the briefs every day.
Until now, Dressel had never been to Paris.
Oh yeah, I am definitely going to the Eiffel Tower and taking a selfie, he says.
Ill be in my undiesjust my Skims.
I think thatll make people happy.
He and Meghan welcomed their first child, a boy named August, in February.
My dad helped trailer it.
I want August to be able to play on the same hoop I did.
As for aquatics, time will tell.
[If thats the case,] swimming is the pretty obvious option.
