HRmax is absolute, but HRpeak is sport specific (so you've got a HRpeak per sport).
You're unlikely to get to your HRmax whilst cycling or swimming, but it's much easier to get there running. I get my highest HRs whilst playing 5-a-side football, easily 10+bpm up on what I can get even running (but this is probably because my legs give out before I get to HRmax).
Cycling: 185bpm max
Running: 189bpm max
5-a-side football: 201bpm max
