Former world 50m butterfly champion Ben Proud<\/strong> will diversify after Tokyo 2021<\/strong> to become \u201can ISL swimmer\u201d while also extending his career to the 2028 Olympics<\/strong> in Los Angeles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proud was part of the Energy Standard<\/strong> squad that won the inaugural International Swimming League<\/strong> with victory in the grand final at the Mandalay Bay Conference Centre, Las Vegas.<\/a><\/p>\n

Energy Standard – based in Gloria, Turkey \u2013 trailed London Roar<\/strong> going into the men\u2019s skins \u2013 back-to-back, knockout races with the two remaining swimmers in a head-to-head battle.<\/p>\n

Proud made it out of the opening round along with Energy team-mate Florent Manaudou<\/strong> with the Frenchman propelling them to victory by reaching the head to head with Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>, who had lowered Manaudou\u2019s world record to 20.24 the previous day.<\/p>\n

Such was the effect of the competition on Proud that he resolved to adapt his training in order to be more competitive in the ISL while also retaining his world and Olympic focus through to 2028 when he will be 33 years old.<\/p>\n

Proud told Swimming World:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy deciding to just become a 50 swimmer it meant that I\u2019m going to struggle with these types of events quite a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I made that decision ISL wasn\u2019t even a thing so it wasn\u2019t really a question that I wanted to focus on the 50s so I can do well in the Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it has become a thing I\u2019ve decided that after the Olympics I\u2019ll change my training to become an ISL athlete, an ISL swimmer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll do my training to be competitive in the competition and if that means swimming more metres or doing a bit more hard work for the skins and the 100s then that\u2019s something I\u2019m ready to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Olympics being a year later that\u2019s all coming a year later so it will be after 2021 that I think I\u2019ll start to change my training a little bit and focus on those events.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI will change my training to be better in the ISL but I will also still focus on the worlds and Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of being an athlete over the next four to eight years, you have to be quite diverse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training I am doing now is very much suited to the one event and the one event per competition so I think it could do me some good to change my focus and to do some high-end yardage and harder work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very much looking forward to racing in Paris in 2024 and maybe even 2028 so still both are definitely in my sights.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ISL have announced their plans for the Solidarity Programme \u2013 which will fully fund all 320 swimmers in the league for 10 months leading up to Tokyo \u2013 as well as a five-week camp for all 10 teams in October-November for training and competition.<\/a><\/p>\n

Given we know nothing about what to expect for the coming months in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, the camp comes as welcome news for swimmers.<\/p>\n

Proud said:<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I understand everyone who is competing at the ISL will be there at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited for it because I was a bit unsure what would happen with the ISL season being now another Olympic season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen the work they\u2019ve done behind the scenes and I know how much effort has gone into it \u2013 so the fact they\u2019ve changed it for the athletes\u2019 well-being and their training has been very nice to hear.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely something I would do as long as safety wise it\u2019s okay to travel. It\u2019s definitely my plan and we are going to be training towards it until we know that It can or can\u2019t happen.”<\/p>\n

Proud left his Gloria training base on 16 March along with coach James Gibson<\/strong> and team-mate Georgia Davies<\/strong>, the 10-time European medallist and backstroke specialist with the trio heading back to Britain.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is spending lockdown with mum Sally, brother Oliver and Oliver\u2019s partner Charity in Plymouth, south-west England.<\/p>\n

It is the first time Proud has lived with his mother since he was 16 when he left the family home in Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>, Malaysia<\/strong>, to head for Plymouth College<\/strong> where he combined education with swim training under Jon Rudd<\/strong>, now Swim Ireland<\/strong>\u2019s national performance director.<\/p>\n

Proud then moved on to the\u00a0University of St Mark & St John<\/a>\u00a0in Plymouth before heading to Energy Standard in February 2017 and months later won the world 50 fly title in Budapest, Hungary, as well as 50 free bronze.<\/p>\n

Since then he has won Commonwealth and European 50 free titles, going 21.11 in the semis at the latter, the sixth fastest-time in history.<\/p>\n

Proud is the second-quickest man in textile in history behind only Dressel and his 21.03 with the pair the only two in the all-time top 10 alongside those who donned the shiny suits in 2008 and 2009.<\/p>\n

For Proud, who was fourth at Rio 2016, returning to Plymouth brings a sense of coming full circle as he acknowledges, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I decided to start swimming Plymouth was the first place I came to after maybe not even a year of being what I\u2019d call a swimmer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt changed my life working with Jon Rudd and all my coaches here.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made a big, big change to my life and that led on to Turkey which changed my life further but this was kind of the starting point and since me leaving for Turkey my mum has bought a place down in Plymouth because it\u2019s a nice place to be so now I always have a place to go when I return.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left home at 15, 16 and since then I\u2019ve kind of been doing my best to look after myself \u2013 obviously with the help of my family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve taken swimming into my own hands which means I\u2019ve taken my life into my own hands and now it\u2019s quite nice to spend some time with family.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
