Ariarne Titmus (born 7 September 2000) is an Australian swimmer. In 2015, Titmus and her family moved from Tasmania to Queensland for better training opportunities.[3] She competed in the women's 200 metre freestyle event at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships.[4][5]

Career

At the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Titmus won gold in the 4 x 200 metre freestyle event. On 14 December 2018 she set a new world record in the women's short course 400m freestyle competition of the 2018 FINA World Swimming Championships with a time of 3:53.92, breaking the record set by Wang Jianjiahe two months earlier by 0.05 seconds.

Titmus was selected as one of the 27 swimmers to represent Australia at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships in Gwangju, South Korea. After finishing second in her heat of the women's 400 metre freestyle, she won the gold medal and broke the Oceania record in the final with a time of 3:58.76, a full second ahead of American swimmer Katie Ledecky.[6]
