One of the most successful swimmers of all time, Adam is a double Olympic Champion, 14-time World Record breaker, and the only man to hold all major breaststroke titles simultaneously. Known for a relentless mindset focused on the pursuit of excellence, but with an honesty about the pressures of elite sport, he speaks about resilience, high performance, and personal reinvention.He is also shaping future athletes by sharing the tools, lessons and mentality behind his extraordinary success.
Adam Peaty is an Olympic Champion, one of the most decorated British swimmers of all time, and a dominant figure in his sport. The first man to swim the 100m breaststroke in under 58, and then 57 seconds, and the only swimmer ever to hold all major global titles in his event at the same time. He remains Britain’s only swimmer to successfully defend an Olympic title, with gold medals in Rio and Tokyo.
Across his career, Adam has broken the 50m and 100m breaststroke world records a combined 14 times, holds 19 of the 20 fastest times ever recorded in his discipline, and has amassed an extraordinary haul of Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles. He is also a six-time European Swimmer of the Year and twice World Swimmer of the Year.
Adam’s story extends beyond sporting glory. After nearly a decade at the pinnacle of elite sport, he stepped away from competition to focus on his mental health and speaking candidly about burnout, identity and rediscovering purpose. He undertook key changes in and out of the pool, embracing having to adapt as a person and an athlete, and approaching the next chapter of his career with renewed ambition and focus.
To achieve and maintain world-class levels in a highly competitive field, with new, younger competitors entering all the time, requires huge sacrifices, careful planning and dedication. Adam explores high performance through the lens of discipline, mindset and personal growth. He considers leadership, resilience, handling extreme pressure, and the reality of elite success, including what it demands and what it can cost. With authenticity and focus, he shows that reinvention is a key part of sustained excellence.
Alongside competition, Adam has established coaching and mentoring platforms through which he’s helping to shape the next generation of swimmers. Providing the support and knowledge he wishes he’d had in the early phases of his career, he’s now passing on the technical understanding, competitive mentality and personal lessons that powered his rise from local lessons in Staffordshire to global dominance. Throughout, Adam’s mission remains the same: to push limits, be better than yesterday, and pursue the “immortal swim.”
