Olympic champion swimmer Kyle Chalmers, who considered retiring after Paris 2024, now aims to race at his home Games in 2032.

โ€˜Kids swimming at 4am should be bannedโ€™ according to Adam Peaty.

I was not a morning person & found it very tough to be in the pool from 6, but I only did that from the age of 12.

Pool availability & being a low-impact sport plays a role in this training plan, but doing that from 9YO is crazy..
