We talk with Filip Nowacki

About this episode

Filip Nowacki discusses his rise in British breaststroke and his experiences training and competing.

On this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we sit down with the fastest-rising star in British breaststroke: Filip Nowacki. After a phenomenal 10/10 performance at the Aquatics GB Champs and turning heads by beating his mentor Adam Peaty in the 100m at the Edinburgh International, Filip is on a rapid trajectory to the top. We dive deep into his journey, exploring how training in a small island community at Jersey Tigers SC built the work ethic he needed to thrive at Millfield. Filip also opens up about the unique dynamic of being an AP Athlete—what it’s truly like to be mentored by Adam Peaty during the week and race against him on the weekend. Finally, we look ahead to his highly anticipated move to the Loughborough Performance Centre, representing Jersey in Glasgow, and chasing medals at the European Championships. Hosted on Acast.
