                       ADAM PEATY

  Adam Peaty is a british swimmer and he's a breaststoke specialist. When he was 14 a friend took Peaty in a swimming pool but the coach wasn't impressed by him and so put him in the slow lane with younger girls. And so he decided to try harder to swim and started training full time, but he isn't in ony team.
Peaty made his first traveling team as a junior swimmer in 2012. In 2013 Peaty competed in his first senior international competition and he went best times in all three breastoke  events. And two years after debuting at the senior lever, Peaty represented Great Britain at the 2015 World Championship. He partecipated to the Olympics with the 100 metres breastoke and he arrived to the semi-finals. I like him because he's very young but he's strong and because he never given up and I admire him.
