Ariarne Titmus recently shared the reason for her long break after a successful campaign at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In an interview published on January 21, Titmus said she needed a mental break from swimming after the quadrennial games. She also mentioned that this was necessary for her to keep the intensity of her swimming (via The Sydney Morning Herald):

"I just knew that after Paris, I needed some time away. I’ve been on the national team since I was 16, and I just needed a bit of a break mentally from the intensity of the sport. For me, there’s no point racing when I’m not going to be able to perform at my best or near my best."

She further spoke about the importance of the Olympics at this stage of her career. Titmus added:

"When you’re at the tail-end of your career, the Olympics just become so much more important."

During the interview, Ariarne Titmus also spoke about the 2030 Pan Pacific Championships which will be held in her home country, and remarked that it will be beneficial for the swimming circuit.

The Tasmanian native has three medals in the competition, including a gold in the 4x200m freestyle and two silver in 400m and 800m freestyle.
