Following her Paris Olympics campaign, Ariarne Titmus is currently embracing her indefinite break from swimming. She has now stepped into the role of commentator for the 2025 Australian Open for Channel Nine.

During an interview with Wide World of Sports, she was asked about the pros of watching sports over competing, to which she replied.

"The best part of watching is not feeling the nerves and pressure. It's nice to be on the sidelines and just letting them do their things for a while and not getting my hair wet. I love having dry hair."

Further, when asked if she could excel at any other sport than swimming, she mentioned tennis, saying:

"I'm not saying this because I'm at tennis but I really would love to hit it on the tennis court with some force. I think it would be pretty cool to be a good tennis player. I get to wear cool outfits, playing in front of big crowds all the time, I think that would be great."

At the 2024 Paris Games, Ariarne Titmus contributed to the team's effort to secure gold medals in 400m freestyle and 4x200m freestyle relay events. The Australian swimmer also bagged silver medals in the 200m and 800m freestyle events.
