I love tuning into Radio 1 on a Friday night after training and hearing the new stuff.
From Adam Peaty
I'm into my grime, hip-hop, dance, and house music.
I like Jaykae. He's a great artist, and I absolutely love Dr. Dre's album and a bit of Calvin Harris now and then.
I like the dark undertow of grime, and it gets me aggressive. You need that aggression.
Grime reminds me that swimming is very gladiatorial.
The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.
I believe in that gladiatorial mind-set. I love it.
I think the rest of the world has a very wide, very slow kick. It's very simple, breaststroke. People think it's highly technical. But the more narrow, more effective and quicker you can execute it, the faster you are going to go. There's less drag, basically.
In sport, a massive amount is to do with genetics.
Ever since I did that 57.9 last year, the Americans have been analysing me in detail. You can see on the swimming web pages. They are breaking it down in every detail. How many strokes I take. How quick I am in and out of the wall.
