Why Ariarne Titmus ranks #31 in Swimming

Ariarne Titmus ranks 31st among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 639th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 70, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 288 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 2016–present with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 4, world championship golds 5, world records 3, 400 m freestyle record (s) 235.38.

Immediately ahead sits Dana Vollmer on 80.9, a gap of -2.1 points. Directly behind is Léon Marchand on 83.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
