agata smenzyk Total Immersion
Total Immersion is an innovative swimming method created by Terry Laughlin that complements the traditional approach to freestyle swimming. Total Immersion emphasizes fluidity, efficiency, and natural movement in the water.
Efficiency
Minimizing drag and maximizing movement efficiency, allowing for longer swims without fatigue.
Balance
Learning to maintain optimal body position in the water, increasing stability and confidence.
Relaxation
Movements are coordinated and natural, allowing you to swim with minimal effort.
"Total Immersion is not just a swimming technique, but also a philosophy that teaches how to enjoy swimming and achieve better results while maintaining health and avoiding injuries."
"There is no other way to conquer the water than to cooperate with it." – Johnny Weissmuller

Witold Musiał
Personal Trainer / Total Immersion Level II / Dietitian
Currently as the only active local Total Immersion Coach, I have trained over 50 people in Krakow in the past year.
Sport is my life and passion, which I share with others. I currently focus on long-distance and ice swimming. I am a personal trainer with over a decade of experience. I have participated in hundreds of competitions, from running marathons and ultra marathons to Iron Man (August 2021). From winter swimming competitions to exploring the Baltic Sea and truly long distances.
Thanks to Total Immersion, I swam a 30 km distance in July 2024 as part of the "Baltic Challenge Extreme" on the Puck-Chałupy route, completed four times.
Swimming achievements:
- First place in the 24h Ultra Marathon in Kazimierza Wielka (2024)
- Silver medal "Otyliad" Miechów (2025)
- Two-time bronze medal "Otyliada" (Chrzanów 2023, Miechów 2024)
- Bronze medal Krakow Championships 1500m (July 2022)
- Open Water: 30 km (July 2024)
- Pool: 44 km (March 2024)
Mariusz Smenżyk
Total Immersion Level II OpenWater Coach
Mariusz Smenżyk bridges the world of sport and technology. He is the co-creator of BeatBuddyPro.com – a tool supporting swim training by helping maintain pace. He started swimming with the TI method in 2022. Since then, he has swum over 1,000 km in pools and open water, perfecting his technique and sharing his passion with others.
He actively participates in group courses and Open Water camps in Poland and abroad. From the very beginning, he has built his swimming and coaching experience under the guidance of Paweł Lewicki – his TI mentor and coach.
As an IT engineer with over a decade of experience, he brings an analytical approach to training in the swimming world. He believes that technology can support athletic development – which is why he continuously works on solutions that help swimmers monitor progress and improve technique based on data.
Together with Witold Musiał, he develops the TI swimming community in Krakow. In his spare time, he is passionate about music, new technologies, and – of course – swimming.
