There, Gibbons anchored the British men's team in the preliminary heats of the 4x100-metre freestyle relay event. Gibbons previously held the British record for the men's 100-metre freestyle and was part of four relay teams that also broke British records.

Gibbons moved to Malta, to take over as head coach of Sirens ASC, where he led the team to their first ever National Title with swimmers under his guidance qualifying for the first time for the World Championships and the European Youth Olympic Festival. In August 2017 Gibbons was appointed head coach of a newly formed performance team in West London called Natare West London Swimming Club.
