But for US swimmer and seven-time Olympic gold medallist Caeleb Dressel, it was building Legos with coffee in the morning at one point. After winning five gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, Dressel took a break for a few weeks owing to mental health concerns. He spoke about what helped him relax during that time, in an interview with Bensinger in April this year. Caeleb Dressel and his wife Meghan gave Bensinger a tour of their farm home in Florida. During the span of the tour, the couple showed him their cows, Dressel worked on the farm, showed him his gold medals and also flexed his musical talents on the ukelele and the drums. Dressel showed him what appeared to be his game room, complete with a foosball table. The swimmer joked, saying: "This is the boys' hangout, no girls allowed." Bensinger pointed towards a Lego Millennium Falcon and Dressel explained that building it was a majority of what he did after the Tokyo Olympics. "So this falcon has been really fun to build so this is actually a majority of what I did after Tokyo when I was like on break. I would just kind of wake up in the morning come upstairs build legos with a coffee." Caeleb Dressel further explained why he found the activity relaxing. "I find it really relaxing because everything clicks in like perfectly. The noise is the sound I just find it super relaxing." After his post-Tokyo Olympics break, Dressel returned to competitions in late August 2021. He recently took another break from swimming after the World Championships.
