Ariarne Titmus recently expressed her feelings about one of her local pools named after her. The Aussie wrapped up her 2024 season after competing at the Paris Olympics.

Titmus had a smooth run in the 2024 Summer Games as she won four medals, including two gold medals and two silver medals. She won her first gold in the women's 400m freestyle, clocking 3:57.49 and besting Katie Ledecky. Following this, she competed in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay, where she swam the anchor leg and helped Australia set a new Olympic record of 7:38.08.

Adding to this, she also nabbed silver medals in the 200m freestyle and the 800m freestyle events. She is currently enjoying her off time and frequently shares updates about her downtime shenanigans, including her vacations with family and friends and more. She recently shared an Instagram story, making her feelings known about a local pool named after her, 'City of Launceston Leisure & Aquatic Centre, Ariarne Titmus Competition Pool.'

Reposting one of the user's stories, which carried a picture of the pool, she wrote:

"This pool has a very special place in my ❤️ "

Ariarne Titmus has reached this status after navigating her fair share of struggles, having gone through ovarian tumor surgery in September 2023. However, her passion for swimming did not stop her from competing at the Paris Olympics, and now she is ready to compete at the 2028 LA Games.

Ariarne Titmus sat in an interview with Sports Star in August last year, where she spoke about taking a break after her Paris Olympics campaign and revealed that she will get back to the sport when she feels like she is ready. Admitting that she wants to perfectly prepare for the 2028 Los Angeles Games, she said:

"I'm definitely having a very extended break. I haven’t planned when I’m going back to swimming. I want to go back when I feel ready to go back. Could be up to 12 months. I just want to make sure I’m ready to go in LA. I don’t want to come back too early and, you know, lose that fire, I guess. I think four years is a long time, so I want to prepare myself the best for those Olympic Games. For me, that’s the priority, not world championships in the years prior," Titmus said.

Ariarne Titmus recently visited the Australian Open and cheered for players such as Novak Djokovic. The Australian currently has won eight Olympic medals in her career, including four gold, three silver, and one bronze.
