The 29-year-old will compete for the second time since making the move from the University of Florida pro group to the Sporting Jax Aquatic Club under former Gator coach Steve Jungbluth at the beginning of October, taking on a more personalized training program that he dove into late last year on the SwimSwam Podcast.
Dressel competed for the first time since early August at last month’s U.S. Open, posting respectable times of 21.94 in the 50 free, 23.45 in the 50 fly and 51.33 in the 100 fly, with his 50 free swim notably matching what he produced in August and his 50 fly performance just shy of what he went at the U.S. Summer Championships (23.28). In the 100 fly, he went under 52 seconds for the first time since the Paris Olympics.
This week’s meet in Austin will notably be the first time Dressel competes at the January leg of USA Swimming’s Pro Swim Series, having usually waited until the March meet to make his PSS debut for the year. (USA Swimming didn’t host a January meet in 2025 and the 2022 edition was canceled.)
Entered with his times from the 2024 Olympic Trials, Dressel is seeded 2nd in the 50 free (21.41) and 100 fly (50.19) and 5th in the 100 free (47.53) this week in Austin.
He’s also ranked 4th in the 50 fly with his 23.28 clocking from the 2025 U.S. Summer Championships, a swim that saw him narrowly miss out on a spot on the 2026 U.S. Pan Pacific Championship roster.
Despite not being on the Pan Pac roster, Dressel still has plenty to look forward to in 2026, likely targeting the U.S. National Championships in late July in long course before eyeing a spot on the U.S. team for the Short Course World Championships at the end of the year in Beijing. USA Swimming CEO Kevin Ring has said the organization is planning to host a selection meet for SC Worlds this coming fall.
Dressel will take on a loaded field this week that includes the two men who beat him out for an individual spot in the 100 free at the 2024 Olympics, Jack Alexy (also the new American Record holder in the 100 free, having broken Dressel’s record last summer) and Chris Guiliano, plus French powerhouse Maxime Grousset, who is the reigning world champion in the men’s 50 and 100 fly.
