A Casual Chat: Duncan Scott and Adam Peaty Dive into the Deep End

Adam Peaty: Hey Duncan! Great to see you. Just wanted to catch up—how’ve you been keeping in the pool?

Duncan Scott: Adam! It’s been a while. I’ve been good, man, just grinding away as usual. You know how it is. How’s training treating the breaststroke king?

Adam Peaty: Same old, same old. Sometimes I think the chlorine is becoming part of my DNA! So, tell me, what’s been your focus lately? A bit of everything, as usual?

Duncan Scott: Pretty much! I’ve been dialing in on the freestyle and medleys. Trying to bring down those split times, inch by inch. I heard you’ve been dabbling in mixed relays more these days?

Adam Peaty: Oh, definitely. It’s a different kind of rush, isn’t it? The dynamic is just insane. Plus, I get to race side-by-side with you all, which is a win-win in my book.

Duncan Scott: Absolutely, the team spirit in mixed relays is something else. There’s nothing quite like it. Speaking of which, any pre-race rituals you swear by these days?

Adam Peaty: You mean apart from listening to ridiculously pumped-up tracks on my headphones? (Laughs) I’ve been into a bit of yoga lately. Helps center my mind before diving in. What about you? Any quirky habits?

Duncan Scott: Quirky? Maybe not. But I do have this weird thing where I always eat a banana exactly 27 minutes before I hit the water. Superstition, I guess! (Chuckles) So, what’s your take on the younger swimmers coming up? They’re really stepping up, huh?

Adam Peaty: Oh, for sure. The future is bright. They’re pushing boundaries that I didn’t even dream of at their age. It keeps us veterans on our toes. How do you find balancing mentoring them while staying competitive?

Duncan Scott: It’s a fine line, mate. But honestly, it’s more energizing than anything else. Their passion is contagious. We can’t rest on our laurels when they’re around. Any advice you give to newbies?

Adam Peaty: Stay hungry and stay humble. Talent might get you in the door, but it’s the grind that keeps you there. And never, ever underestimate the power of mental strength. Out of every lane in a race, that’s the one you have the most control over. What about you?

Duncan Scott: Couldn’t agree more. I’d add that understanding your own race pace is crucial. Know when to sprint, when to conserve, and always, always believe in your ability to finish strong. Well, Adam, it’s been awesome catching up. Let’s make sure to hit the pool together soon!

Adam Peaty: Definitely, Duncan. Let’s tear it up next time we’re at the same meet. Here’s to breaking more records and making more memories. Catch you later!
