How Fast Will Michael Andrew Swim at Olympic Trials?

Michael Andrew turned a lot of heads at the Indy Pro Swim, dropping:

• 58.6 - 100m breast
• 50.8 - 100m fly
• 1:56.8 - 200m IM

I was surprised. Frankly, I didn't see Michael as the favorite in two events heading into U.S. Olympic Trials.  I think, like a lot of swimming fans, I was lulled into a bit of a sleep after after his 2020 ISL season.  I expected a little more from him last fall and winter. Now, in hindsight, that feels like a harsh judgment considering everyone reacted differently to the pandemic last year.

I am glad I was wrong. I've been a Michael Andrew fan since his age group days--back when everyone lost their minds over his turning pro at the tender age of 14.

2021 Michael Andrew U.S. Olympic Trials Predictions

As mentioned above, I wasn't bullish on Michael Andrew making the Olympic Team. I thought he’d be on the bubble. I'm confident now. I think he's making his first Olympic Team. I see him winning the 100m breast in 58.3, breaking the American record.

Will he make it in the 200 IM, 100 fly, or 50 free?

• 1:55 point 9 - 200 IM - for 2nd or 3rd
• 50 point 5 - 100 fly for 2nd, 3rd or 4th
• 21 point 4 - 50 free for 2nd or 3rd

But who cares what I think. What do you think? Give me your best expert swimming analysis.
