I did not like it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Peaty was brought up in Uttoxeter, a market town in Staffordshire in the English midlands, where he swam at the local leisure centre, which he credits as the starting point, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Of all the pools I&#8217;ve seen around the world, this is the most important.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My first proper swim club: where the journey really, really started.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He left the Dove Valley club for the City of Derby to which he pays a surprise visit during a club training session at the Queen\u2019s Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Homecoming with Adam Peaty\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6A8hiwzo2Tg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Courtesy of CUPRA<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caitlin Skelly said: \u201cIt\u2019s just amazing that Adam is here.

club but globally,\u201d commented fellow 16-year-old Ben Twynham.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Kyle Hudson was thrilled to have Adam prove to his team what could be achieved with hard work and determination, saying: &#8220;He\u2019s shown it\u2019s possible to start here and go as far as you want to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking on, Peaty said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was one of these kids, so if they can relate to that \u2013 that you haven\u2019t got to be anyone special and that you just have to be someone who works extremely hard \u2013 then one of these kids may go to the Olympics in the future and for me that is what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s incredible \u2013 all the nostalgia and all the memories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:
