SIS supported athlete Hannah Miley powered to a commanding gold in the 400m individual medley as swimming's European Championships began in Budapest.
Scottish star Miley, 21, trailed home favourite Katinka Hosszu early but caught the world champion to win in a time of four minutes 33.09 seconds.
"I probably put more pressure on myself for London 2012 but I'm here to race and that's what I did," said Miley.
"The target on my back is massive now. I've got everyone hunting me down.
"I was here in 2006 at the Europeans, didn't do that well and failed to make the cut for the Worlds. That was the first real kick up the backside I needed to make sure it never happened again."
Miley, who turned 21 on Sunday, finished fourth behind Hosszu at last year's World Championships in Rome.
She had to combat the noise of the Hungarian's home crowd to win by three seconds, but credited her father Patrick, who is also her coach, for the improvement that brought her first major long-course gold.
"I had my music in as loud as I could but I've also been working on mental techniques, getting tips and tools to make myself more positive," she added.
"And the work I've done with my dad, too - I felt more confident knowing I was a senior athlete going into it. I hope I've done my dad proud."
Miley said improvements to her backstroke had been the key to winning gold.
"Backstroke is the one stroke I've really worked on," she said. "Some days it's great, some days it's pants and my younger brother Alistair beats me - he's only 15 and he's shorter than me.
"I've always worked on the theory you should work on what you're weakest at and it's really picked up. Today it just clicked and I didn't expect to be that quick."
In the penultimate event of the day, the relay team of Amy Smith, Fran Halsall, Jessica Sylvester and Jo Jackson added silver to Britain's medal tally.
These European Championships mark the first major event featuring British swimmers since the ban on ultra-fast bodysuits, which became near-ubiquitous after the 2008 Beijing Olympics but have been illegal since January 2010.
