Adam Peaty – Keynote Speaker

Olympic Champion Adam Peaty MBE is the only swimmer in history to hold all major global championships at the same time and the only British swimmer to ever retain their Olympic title. He holds 19 of the top 20 fastest times for the 100m breaststroke and has broken that World Record 14 times.

Adam has repeatedly made history in the pool since his first major success at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, including being the first man to swim under 58 and subsequently 57 seconds in the 100m breaststroke.

Most recently at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics he became the first British swimmer in history to retain his Olympic title, he formed part of the mixed medley team who won gold and broke the World Record in the process and he also won silver in the men’s medley relay.

Deservedly, Adam was awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Years honours list for services to swimming and services to mental health. A passionate advocate for mental health, Adam is a candid and relatable role model to the younger generation as well as an established presence in both the media and corporate speaking scene.

With a passion for inspiring the next generation, Adam launched AP Race Clinics three years ago with a vision to revolutionise swim clinics by teaching young swimmers how to race. Touring the UK the clinics provide people with the tools to improve their swimming techniques, land work and the mental side of racing.

Taking a break from the water post Olympics, Adam kept himself busy as he took on a new challenge in the form of Strictly Come Dancing and released his debut book ‘The Gladiator Mindset’ in November 2021.

With an abundance of medals and World Records to his name, Adam continues to dominate the field of men’s breaststroke, cementing a legacy for himself and swimming.
