RETIREMENT He took a break from the sport after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, and eventually decided to retire from swimming. (weszlo.fm, 09 Aug 2018)
RETURNING TO POLAND In 2014 he moved back to Poland after four years training in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America. "I could not stand it financially, as all the time I was accompanied by pressure that if I got injured I would lose my only source of income. Los Angeles has many legends that are just myths."

He has also served as a personal swimming coach at Floating Arena in Szczecin, Poland. (Facebook page, 27 Jul 2018; 14 Mar 2018; weszlo.fm, 09 Aug 2018) |
