Ariarne Titmus reveals what keeps her mind ‘at ease’ while adjusting to new role at World Aquatics Championships 2025

Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus recently shared glimpses of her workout sessions, which keep her at ease amid her new commentary role for the World Aquatics Championships 2025. Titmus is working for the Australian Broadcasting Network, NINE.

Titmus, who had won three medals, including two gold in the 400m free and 4x200m free events in 2023, isn't competing in Singapore for her national team due to her prolonged break from swimming. However, she has been involved in the competition in a different role as she is analyzing the action from the commentary box, similar to her time during the 2025 Australian Open.

Amidst her commentary role, Titmus spared some time in the gym to focus on her fitness even during this break from swimming. She shared a picture of her gym sessions on her Instagram stories and wrote:

"Making use of the hotel gym! Getting a bit of exercise in between the swimming commentary creates a sense of routine that keeps my mind at ease."
