Peaty said: "We came to Winchester last year and realised there is a great community here who are passionate about sport. The facilities here are amazing - it is one of the best centres in the country."

Alongside his elite team, including British champion Ed Baxtor, Peaty spends the day coaching youngsters in three different swimming stations. 

Swimmers also received advice from a psychologist, plus a strength and conditioning coach.

To end the event, Peaty gave a presentation on his career, including his recent Olympic experience, the lessons learned, and how he has maintained his world-class performance.

"I tell them all it's a ladder and you need to start at the bottom. We need to give them the first steps to begin that climb. 

"It's not just about sport either, these are skills they will use for the rest of their lives."
