AP Race London International 2025 - A Record Breaking Event

In 2025 AP Race hosted the third edition of the brand's flagship event, the AP Race London International and this is your chance to get a behind the scenes look at how the world's largest open international swimming competition comes together! 

This competition was the brainchild of AP Race Co-founders Adam Peaty and Ed Baxter and Aquatics Events Producer, John Bailey. There was a clear mission when launching - to create a world leading event that would provide an incredible spectator, athlete and coach experience. In 2025, we took a huge step and for our final night of racing, completely sold out the London Aquatics Centre. In additional to a sell out evening, the competition saw: 

• 10,752 Spectators
• 850+ Competitors
• 38 Nationalities Racing
• £21,500 Prize Pot
• £25,000+ Community Investment

Our open age prize pot was shared between five incredible senior athletes with World and Olympic level accolades to their names: 

• 1st Place (£10,000) - Lauren Cox (GBR)
• 2nd Place (£5,000) - Oliver Klemet (GER)
• 3rd Place (£2,500) - Lukas Märtens (GER)
• 4th Place (£1,500) - Nyls Korstanje (NED)
• 5th Place (£1,000) - Marrit Steenbergen (NED) 

For the first time, there was the introduction of junior prize money for overall AQUA Points which was claimed by rising stars:

• 1st Place (£500) - Filip Nowacki (GBR)
• 2nd Place (£400) - Johannes Liebmann (GER)
• 3rd Place (£300) - Jacob Mills (GBR)
• = 4th Place (£150) - Milan Vojtko (SVK)
• = 4th Place (£150) - Martine Damborg (DEN) 

In 2025 the AP Race London International created incredible moments, broke records and once again, redefined what is possible for a Swimming Competition. We want to extend a huge thank you to every swimmer, coach, spectator, official, volunteer and partner who allowed this event to come together.

We cannot wait to see you in 2026 to watch you become... Better Than Yesterday
