Personal life

[edit]

Prenot was born in Sedalia, Missouri, and raised in Santa Maria, California.[3] He received a degree in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017.[4] Prenot married his wife, Tiffany Sudarma, a former swimmer on the Indonesian National Team, in March 2019.[3]

Career

[edit]

In 2005, Josh Prenot joined the Santa Maria Swim Club after moving to Santa Maria, California.[5] In 2012, Prenot began his freshman year at the University of California Berkeley. In 2016, Prenot won his first NCAA title at the NCAA Men's Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in the 400 yd IM.[1] After finishing his career there, he felt pressure to succeed at the 2016 Olympic Trials. Prenot was a member of the US World University Games team in 2015. However, he and many other critics felt this was his last chance to be a professional swimmer.[citation needed] At the Trials, he placed third in the 100 m breaststroke at the US Olympic Swimming Trials. Later in those trials, he set an American record in the 200m breaststroke, also recording the second-fastest performance all-time in the event, winning the final to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[6]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, he won the silver medal in the 200m breaststroke in a time of 2:07.53.[7]

In July 2018, Prenot raced the 200m breaststroke at the 2018 Phillips 66 National Championships and World Championship Trials and went the world's fastest 200m breaststroke time in 2018 as of July 2018 with a 2:07.28[8]
