The 2026 AP Race London International kicks off tomorrow, Saturday, May 23rd, with a plethora of talent headed to the storied London Aquatics Centre for three days of high-octane racing.

With the meet carrying his namesake, Adam Peaty is among the British competitors, with the likes of Duncan Scott, Matt Richards, James Guy, Freya Colbert and Angharad Evans also set to dive in this weekend.

There is a hefty field of foreign competitors also expected to compete, including the fearsom distance foursome from Germany, Johannes Liebmann, Lukas Märtens, Oliver Klemet and Florian Wellbrock.

Throw in additional swimmers from the U.S., including Charlotte Crush, Audrey Derivaux and Jonny Kulow and there will be plenty of tight battles headed our way.

Prelims begin at 9:30am local (4:30am ET), with finals beginning at 7pm local (2pm ET), save for Monday when finals start at 6:30pm local (1:30pm ET).

850 swimmers across 40 nationalities will be not only vying for bragging rights but also for their share of the £21,500 (~$29,000 USD) prize pot.

Additionally, para events are integrated into the program for the first time ever, while the famous ‘Jorts Race’ between Peaty and American Kyle Sockwell is on Monday’s agenda.

We’ll be covering the Super Finals live each day on SwimSwam.
