Adam Peaty, Olympic Champion and Cupra Brand Ambassador, has returned to visit where it all began - his hometown of Uttoxeter in the U.K., courtesy of Cupra.
Following the immense highs of Tokyo, winning two gold medals and a silver for Team GB, Peaty took a roadtrip in the Cupra Formentor back to the places in his childhood that marked milestones in his journey to becoming an Olympic, Commonwealth, European and World Champion.
Driving through the streets, Adam pointed to all the places that marked memories from his childhood, including where he failed his first driving test.
Starting at Uttoexter Lesiure Centre, which Adam re-opened in 2015 with the swimming pool hall that now carries his name, he remarked, "the amount of pools I've seen around the world, this one is the most important. Dove Valley was my first proper swimming club where the journey truly started."
He then drove the Cupra Formentor to Queen's Leisure Centre, home to the City of Derby Swimming Club, where aged 14 Adam's swimming career took off when he first trained under his current coach, Mel Marshall.
The unsuspecting club swimmers were in a full training session when Adam dropped in for a surprise visit. Well-known as a former member of the club, both the younger and older swimmers were amazed to have Adam give them valuable coaching advice.
"It's incredible - all the nostalgia and all the memories. When you win and you win big, you can easily forget it so I'm glad that today happened with Cupra to experience it all again."
