Fans are eagerly interested in learning more about Dressel's personal life. They want to know about his background and his family.
Who are Caeleb Dressel's parents?
Caeleb Dressel was born on August 16, 1996, to Michael and Christina Dressel. Michael is a veterinarian who graduated from the University of Florida and then opened his own facility named Chimney Lakes Animal Hospital.
His bio on the hospital's website reveals Michael loves tree farming and spends a lot of time digging and plowing on his property. Christina and Michael have three other children apart from Caeleb and all of them are competitive swimmers and they take it very seriously to be as supportive as they can of their careers.
In an interview with SwimSwam, Christina spoke about how she as a mother deals with her children when they return from a bad swim. "I am always mom and never a coach. That is my job as a mother to be nurturing and supportive regardless of a good or bad swim," she said.
Christina also said she and Michael have never interfered with the decisions their kids have made over the years. "We let our kids make their own decision if the consequences were not harmful to themselves or others. If we thought the consequences were harmful to themselves or others we would step in with both feet," she added.
"Example: Where he went to college or whether or not he chose to go to practice. It is his sport not mine. He also chose to get a pet ferret and pet rat and we were not thrilled about that decision. But he took great care of them and they ended up being great pets which we all fell in love with. An example is when he asked us about getting a dirt bike and we said no that we didn’t think that was a good idea."
