I don&#8217;t want to even give myself the slight inkling of having that again, because it&#8217;s a lot being out of breath in training, and feeling all that like lactate or whatever but it isn&#8217;t as bad as what I felt back in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>AP Race &amp; Peaty&#8217;s Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Cox took some time away from the pool and enjoyed the life of a regular 22-year-old.\u00a0She also joined the AP Race team on their summer tour as they delivered clinics to improve technique to a range of swimmers from young children upwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AP Race<\/strong> was founded by <strong>Adam Peaty<\/strong> and <strong>Ed Baxter<\/strong> in 2019 to help competitive swimmers improve their skills.\u00a0Since then, it has enjoyed rapid growth and, as well as delivering clinics through Britain and beyond, they also stage the annual <strong>AP Race International<\/strong> at the Aquatics Centre in London.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_619092\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-619092\" data-attachment-id=\"619092\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lauren-cox-talks-about-change-of-mindset-adam-peatys-influence-ahead-of-british-championships\/2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1800,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;emily cameron&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1751303619&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;emily cameron&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Celia PULIDO ORTIZ  and Lauren Cox in the 50 backstroke swimoff after prelims&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Lauren Cox: Photo Courtesy: Deepbluemedia&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65-1024x683.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-619092\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2025-world-champs-singapore-weds-am65-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"183\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-619092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren Cox: Photo Courtesy: Deepbluemedia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although he was unaware, Peaty had a great influence on Cox who was in a dark place but absorbed all the advice and insight the three-time Olympic champion was imparting to the youngsters at the clinics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI obviously was in quite a bad place mentally with swimming,\u201d she said. \u201cBut just watching him, how he interacted with the kids, even the advice he was giving the kids and his presentation at the end of the day &#8211; I really took on board what he was saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it wasn&#8217;t even like it was directly to me, but that definitely opened my eyes a bit more and made me want to get back in the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It set in motion a close working relationship that also includes reaping the benefits of Peaty\u2019s experience over 12 years at the international top table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdam and Ed were interviewing me about missing the Olympics and after I finished speaking and all the cameras were off, he said you need to believe in yourself more and gave me some advice.
