I enjoy swimming but I'm completely hopeless at it. I can just about manage back to back lengths of a 22 metre pool, so really appreciate those with serious ability!He's a great competitor and talent. I think he had to retain Olympic gold to go down in the top eschelons of British sport.
I did used to compete in the same events 20 odd years ago. I think it's very had to judge the speed on tv, and some make the mistake of thinking they're looking at a pool the same size as their local, when actually it's twice the length.
They don't do the 50m breaststroke at the Olympics, do they?I enjoy swimming but I'm completely hopeless at it. I can just about manage back to back lengths of a 22 metre pool, so really appreciate those with serious ability!
If the Olympics happen Peaty must be nailed on for 50 and 100m gold.
No idea actually.They don't do the 50m breaststroke at the Olympics, do they?
No idea actually.
Does Peaty stick to the 100m?No, only 100m and 200m at the Olympics for breastroke, butterfly and backstroke.
He's an absolute phenomenon.The top 20 times for the 100m breaststroke were all clocked by him at least as recently as last month. In a sport where records seem to fall all the time, that is some achievement.
Adam Peaty sets record for holding top 20 times in 100m breaststroke
British swimmer Adam Peaty has set an impressive record - he's swam the top 20 fastest times ever in his event!www.bbc.co.uk
Truly. To put it in perspective, Usain Bolt never came close to doing the same in either the 100m or 200m.He's an absolute phenomenon.
If he was American or Australian he’d be an absolute mega starAnother race another win for the lad. He must be up there as the best athlete from this country ever.
Are there any serious swimmers on the board? Can you swim as fast?!?
My daughter has been in a swimming club for years and competes at county level and Peaty swims 100 Breast around 7 seconds faster than she can swim 100 free......she is only 14 though!
