Staffordshire in the English West Midlands, which is roughly 40 miles from Sandwell where the pool is being built for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He spoke to <strong>Birmingham 2022<\/strong> as part of a campaign which features elite athletes who have an association with the West Midlands and said he believes the new <strong>Sandwell Aquatics Centre<\/strong> will leave a lasting legacy, regionally and nationally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peaty said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople shouldn\u2019t underestimate how much a facility investment can help the local area, but it\u2019s also a national investment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Competitions after the Games will be coming [to Sandwell] from left, right and centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Never underestimate how much that brings, especially to local teams, local athletes and how much it inspires them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Hopefully we can secure that next generation of athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction of the \u00a373 million facility is on time and on budget, and is set to be completed in spring 2022, ready to host swimming, para swimming and diving events at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building will be officially open for public use in May 2023, with a 50m pool, 25m diving pool, a community pool, gym, sports hall and seats for up to 1,000 spectators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peaty started competing with the <strong>Dove Valley<\/strong> club in Uttoxeter before moving on to <strong>City of Derby<\/strong> where he came together with coach <strong>Mel Marshall<\/strong>, a partnership that has led to Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth titles and world records.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_446440\" style=\"width: 304px\"

opportunity to come together and celebrate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to treat these events not just as a celebration of sport but of everyone coming together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;A home Commonwealth Games is one of the best things the country can do.
