Poland has announced his verbal commitment to Lindenwood University for 2021-22
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the Lindenwood University
coach and friends that help me in this process!”
Kazmierczak swims with UKS GOS Raszyn and represents Poland internationally
He specializes mainly in 50/100/200 free and sprint back and fly
At the recent 2020 Winter Polish 17-18 Years Championships (25m) in Lublin
He also medaled in the 100 free (3rd) and 50 fly (3rd) and tied for 6th in the 50 back
His times in all four events were lifetime bests
Kazmierczak’s best time in the 50 free would have scored in the A final at the 2019 NCAA Division II Championships; his 100 free time would have made the B final
His 50 back time would have been about a second faster than Lindenwood’s leadoff on the medley relay
The 2020 Division II national meet was halted after a day and a half of competition
Kazmierczak would have scored in the A final of the 50 free on Day 1

Just ask my swimmer who trained in different countries
especially with times that could give him a spot on a team with some insane coaches and teammates
I&#8217;m not in any way bashing Lindenwood
but I&#8217;m surprised that he didn&#8217;t choose a more well-known school in the swimming world
Lindenwood has had success with sprinters in the past
who won the 50/100 titles in 2016 and defended his 50 title in 2017
 He set the NCAA record in the 50 twice in 2016
Most likely some sort of academic credit issues from whatever secondary school he attends/ed that made him ineligible for D1 programs
you see international recruits go D2 because they are 20-21-year-old freshman
and thus want to be able to swim all four years
You don’t have to be at a big-name school to be a good coach
and you aren’t necessarily a good coach if you’re at a big-name school
it is not possible that any above average swimmer would want to go to a well-coached program like Lindenwood&#8230;just because it is Division II
but I am not sure how awesome the Division I landscape is right now with more well-known schools getting dropped as an excuse to pour more resources into football
I&#8217;m saying that teams with Olympic coaches (and Olympic hopeful teammates) would be more desirable to me
so I was curious to know what the draw was
Division 2 is great: great academics and scholarship opportunities
I didn&#8217;t at all say that there are bad coaches there
But they&#8217;re not the ones being considered for international positions as much
So if he went to swim for&#8230;.say&#8230;.Arizona State
you wouldn&#8217;t be asking this question?
There the sprint coach is a 30 year-old who is much less proven as a coach than Jason Owen (who had a 19.1 sprinter at d2 a few years back)
Why are you assuming there aren&#8217;t great D2 coaches
it might take even more coaching at the D2 level
given the typical swimmer-level that arrives
 But check SwimSwam&#8217;s improvement ratings
 Some D2 teams are &gt;1.0% median improvements
 Not many D1 (especially top-end D1) programs can say that
they are at D1 &#8211; Not politically correct but the best rise to the top
You are obviously style over substance and know very little how the coaching game is played
That&#8217;s like saying because a coach used his influence with the admissions office to get a recruiting into school
when they don&#8217;t meet the standard entrance requirements
that said recruit is smart because he was admitted
You can&#8217;t keep using the GREAT 20-25 DI coaches as the &#8221; we&#8217;re awesome by association&#8221; argument
That&#8217;s like everyone saying I swam with Michael Phelps!
Someday people will have to drop the tee shirt envy
I desperately want SwimFani to expose himself
You can&#8217;t throw that out there without at least some hints
If there is one person that it definitely isn&#8217;t
finally after meditating on that logic actually agree with you
Suffice it to say there are and have been MANY phenomenal men and women coaches in DII and DIII
I further apologize to any DII or DIII coach who actually believed the earlier post
Ernie Maglischo&#8230;.you can call these guys not great coaches if you want
It&#8217;s commenters like you who lead swimmers (and coaches) to chase prestige rather than seek the school that will truly be the best path for personal development
Please see the second post found above with my apology and retraction
Also to any swimmer considering DII or DIII programs &#8211; Without a doubt some of the finest people and coaching minds are DII and DIII
