During the Day Two prelims, action was held in the men&#8217;s 200 freestyle, women&#8217;s 50 freestyle, men&#8217;s 100 breaststroke, women&#8217;s 100 backstroke, men&#8217;s 400 individual medley and men&#8217;s 400 freestyle relay.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the session, two-time Olympic champion <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> of England <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mel-marshall-adam-peatys-fight-for-fitness-manchester-2002-and-reading-the-oath\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will make his return to international racing<\/a>.

He was followed by Scotland&#8217;s Duncan Scott (1:47.16) and England&#8217;s Tom Dean (1:47.19), who figure to battle it out for the title, as was the case at last year&#8217;s Olympic Games.
