Ahem… Caeleb Dressel set two American records this weekend.
I wouldn't mind swimming a 50.3 in the 25 yard breaststroke.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Led by Olympic and world champion Caeleb Dressel, the Florida men's swimming and diving team won their sixth consecutive SEC championship Sunday.
"It's a fantastic blend of older, experience guys and a tremendous group of seniors and a fantastic younger group that is very together in what they do," UF coach Gregg Troy said.
Dressel, a senior, won the male swimmer of the meet trophy and the commissioner's trophy. Dressel rewrote the record books once again this meet, this time setting the US Open, NCAA and American records in the men's 100 breaststroke with a time of 50.03 Saturday. On Thursday, Dressel set the US Open, NCAA and American records in the men's 200 IM with a time of 1:38.13.
"He's the whole package," Troy said of Dressel. "He's very coachable and focused in what he does. He's a real team guy and a tremendous person to work with."
On Sunday, Dressel set an SEC meet record to win the 100 free in 41.01. His own American record is 40.00.
Another Florida swimmer earned an individual victory Sunday. Senior Mark Szaranek won the 200 breast in 1:51.86.
Florida put the exclamation point on the meet by winning the final relay, and its fourth of the event, the 400 free in 2:47.06, with Dressel, Khader Baglah, Maxime Rooney and Szanarek.
The Gators totaled a stunning 1,237 points to finish more than 200 points ahead of runner-up Texas A&M, the meet host.
"Six-straight SEC championships is a remarkable accomplishment. Well done," UF Athletic Director Scott Stricklin wrote on his Twitter account.
In the women's competition, Texas A&M won its third consecutive title. Georgia finished second, with UF coming in seventh.
