Adam Peaty

Since 2014, Adam Peaty has broken the World Record 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke and the 4x100 mixed medley relay 11 times. A machine in the water, Adam is renowned for his striking arm tattoos, which he says represent his character, as well as his strengths and his struggles. Adam’s constant drive has meant he has never shied away from a challenge and this September, he added the proud title of 'father' to his list of achievements as he welcomed his first child, George, into the world. His authenticity has brought him success, the ability to be vulnerable and the bravery to show all of this through his tattoos. Together Gareth and Adam discuss diversity in swimming, winning mindsets and, of course, all things tattoos. Follow Adams journey on Instagram: @adam_peaty
