AP Race Swimming Academy Launches in Bangkok & Singapore - August 2026

We are delighted to announce that in August 2026, the AP Race Swimming Academy will be launching full time operations in Bangkok and Singapore. After our Academy's inaugural launch in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in August 2024, we are very excited to be taking this next step just two years later.

Our journey in South East Asia began in March 2025 when our Co-Founder & CEO Ed Baxter and Director of Operations, Katie Towner, first visited Thailand and Singapore to explore our potential expansion.

In September 2025, AP Race returned to South East Asia with Adam Ramsay-Peaty and our AP Race Team where we hosted 11 events across 12 days.

Over the last 6 months, we have been planning our expansion of the AP Race Swimming Academy into Thailand and Singapore. We are delighted to be able to finally share that through our strategic partnership with TEEMS Global, we will be officially launching a full time operation in August 2026.

"When we launched AP Race, there was a clear mission. I wanted to ensure that whenever I stepped away from my career in the pool, I would've left the sport in a better place and built a legacy, bigger than just the medals I've won and World Records I've broken.

The team we have built is what has allowed us to deliver such quality in our programmes, across the world. We bring together passionate, world class individuals to ultimately provide the best experiences possible for anyone who engages with AP Race.

The events we ran across South East Asia in 2025 were a huge success and what stood out most was the passion and talent that the local communities have for swimming. I cannot wait to return to both Thailand and Singapore this year as our programmes launch."

"Over the last two years, we have been through a huge transformation as a brand, we have grown from a small team of four in the UK to be nearly 60 strong and hosting events all over the world.

Myself and Adam are incredibly proud of the team who have driven us to this point and we are incredibly excited for what is to come as we expand to two new countries this year.

This is a significant milestone in AP Race's story. We are working with some incredible partners and our goal is to provide the best possible swimming experience for our partners and the swimming community."

"Since launching TEEMS Global, we have grown to deliver high quality student events, camps, and educational experiences across Asia and beyond.

AP Race aligns perfectly with everything we do. Not only through its world class swimming expertise, but through a shared belief in trust, quality, ambition, and putting students and athletes at the centre of every opportunity.

This partnership reflects what happens when two organisations with aligned values work together with a positive outlook and a genuine desire to make a difference. Together, we are creating meaningful pathways, memorable experiences, and high impact opportunities for students, schools, and communities across the globe."
