The initial aim was to run five Race Clinics across England and provide a unique experience for attendees. With these events selling out in less than 9 minutes and the standard of the delivery of these clinics, Adam &amp; Ed realised there was a huge opportunity to launch innovative projects to drive the swimming world forwards.\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Both Adam and Ed\u2019s lives have been shaped by swimming, often sport can be the thing that gets people through the struggles, especially as a young person. Having a sport such as swimming to be by your side can change people\u2019s lives and this the cornerstone of <strong>AP Race<\/strong>.
