This week Alex and Luke Withers break down all the action from the AP Race event in London, discussing the electric atmosphere, international field, and why the meet continues to be one of the standout showcases in British swimming. They also examine the realities of hosting an event of this scale and why the format must remain selective to stay sustainable for clubs and organisers alike.
The pair review some of the biggest performances of the weekend, including Filip Nowaki becoming the first British swimmer to go sub-60 in all four 100m strokes, standout freestyle swims from Matt Richards and James Guy, and encouraging signs from Adam Peaty as he returns to a more traditional training approach. They also discuss Amalie Smith’s junior European record, the return of the Wiffen brothers, and several swimmers beginning to hit form ahead of the summer season.
Elsewhere, the conversation turns to the controversial Enhanced Games, with both hosts questioning the legitimacy and competitive credibility of the event before shifting focus back to the racing that matters including a preview of the upcoming Mare Nostrum tour in Barcelona and Monaco as the international summer calendar heats up.
