He beat his idol, Adam Ramsay-Peaty, on Saturday night and has become one of swimming’s overnight sensations. I went for a trial taster session at Jersey swimming club and thought, “This is a bit of me”. Filip is swimming times that have never been seen from an 18-year-old so he’s a real trailblazer. He lined up against Adam Ramsay-Peaty in the 50 and 100m breaststroke this week and everyone has been comparing their physical appearance. He’s won junior titles and swam the 2.07 benchmark that sets apart the world class.
