14X World Record Holder Adam Peaty Ready to Dive into Competition in His Newest Venture’s League

The upcoming prestigious swimming leagues are captivating the sports world with only a few days until the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Amidst all of this, the AP Race London International 2024 stands out as one of Europe’s most competitive sports tournaments. 

The major reason for the popularity of the event is the number of elite swimmers who participate. Interestingly, the event will be spearheaded by Adam Peaty, one of the only six British swimmers boasting gold medals across four events: the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Championships, and European Championships.
