About this episode
Ben Proud is a World Champion sprinter from Great Britain. Last summer he placed 5th in the 50 Free at the Tokyo Olympics. At the 2016 Rio Games, he was 4th. He is a member of the Energy Standard swim team in the ISL, swimming for James Gibson. Ben grew up in Malaysia the first 17 years of his life. He swam on the swim team but didn't take it seriously until meeting Francis Kiu, who changed everything for him. Coach Kiu is now the Head of Performance Swimming at British International School of Kuala Lumpur. After seeing huge results, Ben moved back to England and swam under the tutelage of Jon Rudd at Plymouth Leander. Coach Rudd is now Ireland's National Performance Director. After Coach Rudd became Ireland's National Performance Director, he met up with James in Turkey.
