"Everything was very simple. I asked my mother to buy me a subscription to a pool, I don't know why. The next day I came to school, and my first coach there recruited me to a swimming group. When I came home, my mother gave me a subscription, though to another pool, but that's how it coincided." (Athlete, 12 Feb 2020)

TRAINING IN USA
He has trained in the United States of America with US coach David Marsh. "The approach is completely different, it's different in everything. Americans, like no one else, swim a lot to the limit. If the task is to overcome 200m butterfly, then you put on shorts and go ahead six times by 200m. If you have a different main distance, then you swim it the same number of times. We have nothing of the kind [in Belarus]." (belaruspartisan.by, 07 May 2019)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He graduated from a master's programme in banking and finance from the University of Lugano [USI] in Switzerland. (Athlete, 12 Feb 2020)
