Even though the pandemic was a major cause of concern, swimmers found means to train. The lack of swimming pools to train was a hindrance, but it never stopped the swimmers from training to achieve their goals.

While talking about Dressel, he starts his day by waking up to a quick snack after which he enters the gym at 7:00 am, for a two-hour weight session. Right after that, he hits the swimming pool for a two-hour swim to improve his technique and skill set.

After a break to energize his batteries, Caeleb once again jumps into the pool for another swim workout. Even though weight training is important for swimming, the actual exercise in the pool refines the technique of swimmers.

Likewise, Dressel spoke about the need for mental stability as well. Recently, Simone Manuel expressed her concerns about the over-training syndrome she had that backtracked her progress in the swimming pool. Reigning 100-meter women’s freestyle Olympic champion failed to qualify for the event because of this issue.
