Olympic Swimmer Turned Triathlete: The Story of Lukasz Wojt

This week, we welcome Lukasz Wojt, a former Olympic swimmer turned professional triathlete and now a dedicated coach.

Swimming is in his DNA - his grandfather competed in the 1952 Olympics, his parents were elite swimmers, and Lukasz himself represented Poland at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and won bronze at the European Championships.

After finishing his swimming career, Lukasz transitioned into triathlon, achieving top finishes including 1st place at Ironman 70.3 Luxembourg (3:49) and a lightning-fast 8:03 Ironman finish. Today, he’s sharing his experience as both an athlete and a coach.

In this episode, we dive into: ✅ Lukasz’s journey from Olympic pools to Ironman start lines ✅ The most common mistakes age group triathletes make in swimming ✅ Why swimming is more about technique than endurance ✅ How to transition confidently from pool to open water ✅ The philosophy behind his swim workshops for triathletes

Lukasz reminds us that in swimming, working smarter beats working harder - and small technique changes can unlock huge progress.
