Justina Kozan swam to a new lifetime best and Polish national record in the women’s 200 IM, touching in a 2:11.24. Kozan’s previous best was a 2:11.55 that she swam back at the 2019 World Junior Championships while representing the US.

Kozan now represents Poland at the international level and her time tonight also broke the Polish national record of a 2:12.13 set by Katarzyna Baranowska during semifinals of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Split Comparison

Kozan 2025 Summer Champs Kozan 2019 World Juniors
Baranowska 2008 Olympics
Fly 28.91 28.24 28.4
Back 35.31 34.72 33.84
Breast 37.21 38.62 38.64
Free 29.81 29.97 31.25
2:11.24 2:11.55 2:12.13

The biggest difference today was the back half for Kozan as she was over a second faster than her previous best time as well as Baranowska’s breaststroke split.

This marks the first Polish National Record for Kozan. She represented the country at the U23 Championships at the end of June. There she swam to a win in the 400 IM with a 4:41.57 and a 3rd place finish in the 200 free with a 1:58.26. She did not swim the 200 IM at U23s.

Poland did not have any women in the 200 IM at the 2025 World Championships. The women’s ‘A’ time standard for the event at 2025 Worlds was a 2:12.83. Kozan’s time today would have been tied for 12th in semifinals. It took a 2:10.49 to make the final.
