With a hometown of Poole, it was almost destined for Jacob Peters to take up swimming, and luckily he has excelled at the sport.

Peters made his Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, coming up against eventual champion Caeleb Dressel in the 100m butterfly heats.

By 2021, Peters had already tasted success on the international stage, winning gold in the 4x100m medley at the 2018 European Championships, a matter of months after taking silver in his Commonwealth Games debut in Gold Coast in the same event.

To commemorate his Olympic achievement, Peters had the famous rings tattooed on his chest with a bear and lion on either side.

In a busy 2022, Peters cracked the podium at three major events, winning a bronze medal as part of the medley relay team at the Worlds and Europeans, as well as gold for Team England in Birmingham.

He booked his place at his third Commonwealth Games by finishing second over both 50m and 100m butterfly at the Aquatics GB Championships in London.
