A year later, he became Great Britain\u2019s first swimmer ever\u2014male or female\u2014to win the award. He also was the first male swimmer from Europe to be so honored since 2000 when The Netherlands\u2019 <strong>Pieter<\/strong> <strong>van<\/strong> <strong>den<\/strong> <strong>Hoogenband<\/strong> topped the voting following the Sydney Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the year, Peaty, 20, sent shockwaves through the entire swimming community when he broke the 58-second barrier in the men\u2019s 100 meter breaststroke with a 57.92 at the British Champion- ships in London. The closest anyone came to that time this year was when South Africa\u2019s <strong>Cameron<\/strong> <strong>van<\/strong> <strong>der<\/strong> <strong>Burgh<\/strong> clocked 58.49 in semi- finals at the FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Peaty went on to win the 50 and 100 breaststrokes at Worlds (26.51, 58.52)\u2014as part of a three-gold performance that included an upset win by Great Britain in the mixed 400 meter medley relay.<\/p>\n<p>A day after Peaty beat van der Burgh by 7-hundredths of a second in the 100, both swimmers bettered the world record in the 50 breast: first by van der Burgh in prelims (26.62), then by Peaty in semis (26.42). The next day, Peaty erased any lingering doubts about who was King of the Pool with a convincing 26.51-26.66 triumph over his Commonwealth rival.<\/p>\n<p>Peaty also became the first repeat winner of the Male European Swimmer of the Year award since <strong>Laszlo<\/strong> <strong>Cseh<\/strong> of Hungary (2005- 06). The only British swimmers to take European honors are Peaty (2014-15) and Adrian Moorhouse (1990).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a
