Nowacki caps a breakout 2025 as he eyes Jersey’s Commonwealth Games stage
Breaking news from the world of swimming: Jersey’s Nowacki closed a landmark year with a surge of records, titles and a clear path toward the senior ranks, underscoring a rapid rise from junior standout to a global contender.
The year began with his first senior medals at the British Championships, signaling the start of a remarkable ascent.
He then shattered long‑course British junior records once held by Olympic champion Adam Peaty and followed with European junior titles in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, cementing his status as the sport’s leading junior swimmer.
Nowacki competes under the Team GB world Class Program and this summer collected eight gold medals for Jersey at the island Games, a performance that showcased his breadth across events. He is targeting a depiction for Jersey at next summer’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
“I’ve progressed further then I expected and may have even exceeded some coaches’ expectations,” he said. “But the key now is to keep my head down for the next season and try to replicate that form on the senior stage.”
“The jump from junior to senior is a massive leap, no matter how good you are as a junior. It’s about gaining experience through July and pushing to improve again next season.”
