Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Caeleb Dressel was recently spotted training in California with a group of fellow elite sprinters.
Dressel, Michael Andrew and Santo Condorelli were shown training on the Aquatic Sports Performance Instagram Stories, along with Argentine Olympian Santi Grassi and former IU swimmer Nikola Andjelic.
Condorelli trains there full-time under Sean Kao, who spoke with SwimSwam in June after Condorelli qualified for the U.S. World Championship team. Aquatic Sports Performance offers individualized training programs with bases in Brea and Irvine, California.
Dressel and Andrew were shown doing butterfly breakouts off the blocks with and without fins.

Dressel last competed at the U.S. Summer Championships in Irvine in early August, placing 2nd in the men’s 50 fly (23.28) and 3rd in the 50 free (21.94). The 29-year-old ultimately fell short of qualifying for the 2026 U.S. Pan Pacific Championship roster, but was adamant he wants to get back to top form as soon as possible.
His primary training base remains at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Along with Condorelli, Andrew qualified to represent the U.S. at the 2025 World Championships this past summer, with both also earning spots on next year’s Pan Pac roster, with Condorelli making the grade in the 50 free and Andrew doing so in the 50 fly. Andrew’s time of 23.21 from U.S. Nationals narrowly edged out Dressel’s 23.28 to claim the last Pan Pac spot in the 50 fly.
