American swimmer Caeleb Dressel is having quite a summer.

At Tokyo 2020, Dressel became one of the stars of Team USA, winning five gold medals in five attempts in the pool, and showing off some fantastic sportsmanship along the way.

But while Dressel's star-making moment came at the Olympics, another member of the family has made her case for celebrity in the days since Tokyo 2020.

Meet Caeleb's dog, Jane.

There is Jane, lined up on the starting block just like her father Caeleb did at the Olympics, and flying through the pool at thrilling speed.

Jane, a black lab, looks just as ready to compete as Caeleb did in Tokyo.

"Someone check the time to 25," Dressel wrote in his caption for the post. "She's built to float not for speed."

Other members of Team USA chimed in on Jane's performance in the comments.

"Start is still better than mine," said fellow Olympic gold medalist Bobby Finke.

If the 25-meter doggy-paddle is added to the Olympic program in time for Paris 2024, Team USA knows which dog to call.

When Jane is not busy tearing up the pool, she makes various other appearances on her dad's Instagram account.
