Personal life

After the 2020 Olympics, Dressel met his look-alike on the Today show, Today photographer Nathan Congleton.[92]

Swim analysis

Dressel started a YouTube channel on October 8, 2020 and began posting videos to his channel deconstructing some of his past swims in July 2020.[93] In the first video, he analyzed his swim setting a new world record in the 100-meter butterfly.[94] He has also shared critique of his past races and swims with SwimSwam.[95][96] Leading up to the 2020 Summer Olympics, he ventured into analyses of swimming in pop culture. Dressel provided his perspective to GQ on swimming scenes from various movies including scenes featuring survival swimming (such as in Cast Away and Kingsman: The Secret Service) and competitive swimming (as in Pride).[97]

Marriage

In 2013, Dressel started a romantic relationship with Meghan Amelia Haila, who trained with him while in high school, and in 2019 they got engaged.[98] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, planning the wedding was one way Dressel stayed busy during quarantine, as was hiking a 60-mile portion of the Appalachian Trail.[98][99] They got married in February 2021.[100][101]

Religion

Dressel is an Evangelical Christian. He was raised Christian in his youth but has stated his faith grew while in college. His large eagle tattoo was inspired by the Bible verse Isaiah 40:31.[102] During his senior year of high school, Dressel gave up swimming for a time because of his struggle with "mental demons" and it was not fun for him. He spoke about that period in his life saying: "Coming out of that, I started swimming again and really just put all my trust in God and knowing that he’s going to take care of everything for me, good or bad. I really learned a lot, and I really learned to see the light at the end of the tunnel and trust what God is doing, whether it be a rough point in your life or a top pinnacle in your life. …”
