Le Clos's father Bert Le Clos[1] is Mauritian, and moved to South Africa at the age of nine, where he met Le Clos's mother, Geraldine, who is of South African descent.[2][3] He attended Westville Boys' High School in Durban, South Africa, the school named their main pool after him, matriculating in 2010. He started competing when he was ten years old, after first joining a local swim club based in Durban, named the Seagulls Swimming Club, when he was eight years old.[4] He has a younger brother, Jordan, who is also a competitive swimmer.[5]
At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India in October, Le Clos collected two gold medals, one silver medal, and two bronze medals. On the first day of the swimming competition, he won the gold medal and Commonwealth title in the 200-metre butterfly with a Games record time of 1:56.48.[6][7] His medal was the first medal for South Africa at the 2010 Commonwealth Games as well as his first medal at a Commonwealth Games.[8] The same day, he contributed a split of 50.15 seconds for the third leg of the 4×100-metre freestyle relay in the preliminary heats and won a bronze medal when the finals relay placed third in 3:15.21.[9][10][11] Two days later, as part of the 4×200-metre freestyle relay, Le Clos won his third medal, a bronze medal, helping achieve a third-place finish in the final with a 7:14.18 after helping qualify the relay to the final in the preliminary heats.[12] The fourth day, he placed 17th in the preliminary heats of the 100-metre butterfly with a time of 56.56 seconds.[13] Later in the day, he won his second gold medal and Commonwealth title of the Games, this time in the 400-metre individual medley, where he set a new Games record with his time of 4:13.25.[10][11] On day five, he placed fifth in the final of the 200-metre individual medley with a time of 2:00.74.[14] For his final event, the 4×100-metre medley relay, he split a 52.98 for the butterfly leg of the relay in the final to help win the silver medal in a time of 3:36.12.[12]

He later said that beating his hero was unexpected.[15][16] The next day Le Clos qualified for the final of the 200m individual medley by swimming the (tied) 7th time in the semi-finals, but he withdrew to focus on the 100m butterfly. On the 7th day of the competition, Le Clos won the silver medal in the 100m butterfly, tied with Yevgeny Korotyshkin in a time of 51.44 sec, at 0.23 sec behind Phelps.
During the 2012 Games, Le Clos' father, Bert le Clos, became an instant media personality after being interviewed on British television about his son's achievement in winning a gold medal.[17]
After his Olympic success, Le Clos came into the World Championships as a threat. However, this year, Le Clos shortened his program, only deciding to participate in the butterfly events. In his first event, the 50-metre butterfly, Le Clos, came 23rd with a time of 23.76, unable to advance to the semi-finals. In his signature event, the 200-metre butterfly, after easily breezing into the final, he followed his win at the Olympics, where he won with a 1:54.32. He finished off his schedule by winning the 100-metre fly with a new national record of 51.06, ending the championships on a good note.
At the 2013 Swimming World Cup stop in Eindhoven, Netherlands in August 2013, Le Clos broke the short course 200 metre butterfly world record of 1:49.11, set by Kaio de Almeida of Brazil in 2009, in the final 200 metre butterfly with a time of 1:49.04, which also earned him a World Cup record and the gold medal in the event.[18][19][20] Later in the World Cup circuit, Le Clos broke the 200 metre butterfly world record a second time, this time breaking his own world record and World Cup record with a time of 1:48.56 at the stop in Singapore, Singapore in November, making him the first swimmer to finish the event in less than 1:49.00.[20][21]
In July 2014, at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, held at Tollcross International Swimming Centre in Glasgow, Scotland, Le Clos won seven total medals, including two gold medals, one silver medal, and four bronze medals.[9] His seven medals tied the record for the most number of medals won in a single Commonwealth Games set by Australian Ian Thorpe in 2002.[12] With his 12 total medals from the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games, Le Clos tied Roland Schoeman for being South Africa's most decorated Commonwealth Games swimmer.[22]
On the second day of swimming competition, in his first event of the Games, the 50-metre butterfly, Le Clos won the bronze medal in the final with a time of 23.36 seconds, finishing behind gold medalist Ben Proud of England and silver medalist and fellow South African Roland Schoeman.[23] He won a silver medal later in the same session, leading off the 4×100-metre freestyle relay with a 48.53 to contribute to the final time of 3:15.17.[22][24] The following day, he won a gold medal in the 200-metre butterfly with a new Games record time of 1:55.07, lowering the record he set in the event in 2010 by over one full second.[25][26][27] On The fourth day, he won a bronze medal as part of the 4×200-metre freestyle relay, helping achieve a mark of 7:10.36 in the final by splitting a 1:47.13 for the second leg of the relay.[28] In the final of the 100-metre butterfly the following day, Le Clos won the gold medal with a Games record time of 51.29 seconds, finishing 0.40 seconds ahead of silver medalist in the event Joseph Schooling of Singapore.[29][30][31][32][33] On the sixth and final day, he won his sixth medal in his sixth event, winning the bronze medal in the 200-metre individual medley with a time of 1:58.85.[34] In his seventh and final event, 4×100-metre medley relay, Le Clos swam the 100-metre butterfly portion of the relay in 51.05 seconds to help win the bronze medal and achieve a time of 3:34.47 in the final with relay teammates Sebastien Rousseau (backstroke), Cameron van der Burgh (breaststroke), and Leith Shankland (freestyle).[35]

Le Clos finished 14th in the semifinals of the 50 meter butterfly and 6th in the 200m freestyle. He finished second in the 200m butterfly, at 0.2 seconds behind László Cseh.[40] He successfully defended his 2013 title in the 100m butterfly by winning the gold medal in a personal best time of 50.56.[41][42] Le Clos and Michael Phelps, who was swimming at the US national championships at the same time and posted slightly faster times in the 100 and 200m butterfly events, exchanged comments about each other's times, which set up a rivalry for the 2016 Olympics.[43]
Le Clos won the silver medal in the 200 metre freestyle event, finishing behind China's Sun Yang in a time of 1:45.20 to become one of South Africa's most decorated Olympians.[44] The medal itself was quite a surprise for many, as Le Clos, primarily known as a butterfly specialist, had to overcome placement in one of the outside lanes and the presence of far more established freestylers in the field, such as the world record holder Paul Biedermann, reigning world champion James Guy, and the eventual bronze medalist Conor Dwyer.
Le Clos finished 4th in the 200 metre butterfly in which he was the defending champion,[45] in a race he called the worst of his career, as he was second behind Phelps for much of the race before fading in the closing meters.[46] The event was heavily hyped as a rematch between Le Clos and Michael Phelps, the 2004 and 2008 winner whom Le Clos had narrowly beaten in 2012. The relationship between Le Clos and Phelps had been cordial in 2012–2013, but it deteriorated in 2014 when Phelps came back from retirement.[47] In the ready room before the preliminary race, Le Clos' shadow boxing while Phelps "glowered in a corner" spawned the Internet meme with the hashtag #PhelpsFace. Le Clos' Wikipedia biography was even vandalized repeatedly.[48][1][2]
Le Clos won a second silver medal in the 100 metre butterfly, in a three-way tie with rivals Phelps and László Cseh, behind Joseph Schooling. He said in the aftermath of the event to have been very disappointed with his overall showing in Rio but already had firm plans on continuing until the 2020 Games in Tokyo.[49][50] Despite not being satisfied with his Rio showing, he still became South Africa's most decorated Olympian ever with four medals – one gold, three silver.[51]
Since the Rio Olympics, Le Clos has repeatedly demanded that his silver medal in 200-meter freestyle swimming be upgraded to gold because of Sun Yang's previous anti-doping violation.[52]
At the 2016 World Short Course Championships in Windsor, Canada in December, Le Clos broke his world and Championships records in the final of the 100 metre butterfly with a 48.08 to win the gold medal.[38][39][53] Le Clos also won gold medals in the 50 metre butterfly with a time of 21.98 seconds and the 200 metre butterfly in 1:48.76, a silver medal in the 200 metre freestyle in 1:41.65, placed sixth in the 4×50 metre freestyle relay final at 1:25.61, and came in 30th in the 100 metre freestyle with a time of 48.31 seconds.[54]

Le Clos won the overall male title in the 2017 Swimming World Cup, marking his fourth time winning the title after doing so in 2011, 2013, and 2014, and became the first male swimmer to achieve the four-time overall winner feat.[55]
At the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia, Le Clos earned three gold medals in individual events, one silver medal in an individual event, and one bronze medal in a relay event.[9][56][57] By the end of the Games, his medal count (17 total medals from 2010 through 2018) made him the most decorated Commonwealth Games swimmer, and he left just one medal shy of tying for the most decorated title across all sports, a title shared by sport shooter Phillips Adams of Australia and sport shooter Mick Gault of England.[58]
