With a STA Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming and a IQL Level 2 Award in Pool Lifeguarding, Intervention, Supervision, and Rescue, Bogdan's commitment to safety and skill development is evident. His swimming journey spans an impressive 16 years, reflecting a deep-seated love for the water.

Bogdan boasts substantial teaching and coaching experience. He has worked extensively with young athletes, focusing on stroke refinement, correcting poor swimming habits, and enhancing stamina. His passion lies in nurturing motivation within his students, fostering an environment where they can excel.

Bogdan's sporting achievements underline his dedication to excellence. He emerged as one of the top-performing young athletes in Poland during 2017/18. His collection of medals from prominent swimming events across Poland and Europe speaks volumes about his prowess in the water. Notably, he secured the third position in the 50m breaststroke category of the Polish Youth National Championships in 2018. His competitive reach extended to various European countries, including Austria, Germany, and Slovakia, showcasing his skills on a continental scale.

Beyond the pool, Bogdan's interests are eclectic. Photography, filmmaking, running, and an active lifestyle dominate his leisure time. He's an avid reader of self-development literature and an enthusiastic traveler.

Bogdan's journey into swimming began at the age of 5, overcoming an initial fear of the water through his father's support. Competing from the age of 9, he transitioned into a semi-professional athlete and clinched notable achievements, including the 3rd place in the Youth National Polish Championships at 17. This journey taught him the importance of facing fears and persistently pushing one's limits.

Looking ahead, Bogdan envisions sharing his rich swimming experience and possibly establishing his own swimming school. He is drawn to the Swimming Nature Programme for its distinctive approach and innovative teaching methods.

Bogdan's preferred teaching age group ranges from 8 to 12. His specialization in stroke development and his knack for inspiring progress make him particularly effective in this age bracket. Aspiring to enhance swimmers' efficiency and speed in the water, he thrives on helping them surpass their personal bests.

Becoming a Swimming Nature Teacher was a natural choice for Bogdan. The program's emphasis on not using swimming aids resonates with his belief in cultivating strong foundational skills in swimmers.
