At the start of the season, Ben set a new personal best and British record in the 50m Freestyle at the British Championships. 

He then impressed the world by securing his first medals at a World Championships. The British record holder became world champion in the 50m butterfly. On his way to gold he set a new British record of 22.75 seconds. Ben backed up his performance to win a well-earned bronze medal in a tightly contested 50m freestyle after some impressive swimming through the rounds.
