Six-time Olympic medallist Adam Peaty has not been included in the group of elite swimmers that will be supported by Aquatics GB throughout 2025.

There had been doubts about whether Peaty, 30, would retire after his silver medal at the Paris Olympics last summer, but he told the BBC last year he would take a break over the next two years while still training.

Despite not being selected as one of the 57 swimmers on Aquatics GB world-class programme, Peaty has not announced his retirement.

He remains involved with the British swimming programme but is on an adjusted training schedule after an extended break post-Paris with the next Olympics more than three years away.

Peaty, who won the first of his three Olympic gold medals at the Rio Games in 2016, posted on Instagram last month that he had “slowly” started building up his fitness and technique in training.

He has not publicly committed to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but has said he will “100%” compete if the 50m breaststroke event is added to the schedule.

Ten Olympic medalists, including Matt Richards, Duncan Scott, Tom Dean and James Guy, have been included in the top-tier Aquatics GB programme which gives access to funding, training and sport science support.
