Ognjen Stojanovic, Serbian triathlon athlete, as Swimming Dad #Blog guest reveals how water and swimming helped him become a top and a world class triathlon athlete, even though doctors told him he might never walk again when he was a child. As Ognjen likes to say, triathlon is his passion and the nature is his office. Throughout his 13-year long career, he has achieved numerous victories at the national, Balkan, European and world competitions. Just in 2017 he managed to win the third place at the Asian Cup in Taizho, China. Then at the Balkan championship he won the first prize and at the same time the 9 th title of the Balkan champion. At the World Cup in Salinas, Ecuador, he ended up 12
Za Swimming Dad kao #Blog gost, triatlonac, Ognjen Stijanović, otkrio je koliko su mu voda i plivanje pomogli da danas bude u vrhu svetske triatlon elite, iako su mu u detinsjtvu doktori prognozirali da možda neće ni hodati! Kako kaže Ognjen, triatlon je njegova strast, a priroda je njegova kancelarija. Svoje prve uspehe postiže 2006. godine. Nakon 13 godina bavljenja ovim sportom, iza sebe ima mnogobrojne uspehe kako na nacionalnim, evropskim, balkanskim tako i svetkim takmičenjima. Samo tokom 2017. godine Ognjen je osvojio 3. mesto na Azijskom kupu u Taizhou u Kini. Na Balkanskom prvenstvu pobeđuje i time osvaja svoju 9-u titulu Balkanskog prvaka. Iste godine, na Svetskom kupu u Salinasu u
Water and swimming are there for all children. They offer an amazing range of activities, exercises that can help or are a part of a therapy, and that can ease certain physical or mental disabilities. However, sometimes it is easier said than done. From my own experience and by talking to some of the parents, not many people are ready to accept that responsibility and work with the children who need a different approach in the water. To be really honest, this quite makes sense as it takes an experienced trainer, often with a support of a doctor, as well as time, to win these “battles”. Nothing can be done overnight. Depending on a child’s initial condition, and his/her progress, some of the
Voda i plivanje su tu za svu decu. Nude fantastičan spektar aktivnosti, vežbi koje mogu pomoći i koje su deo neke terapije, koje uz trud mogu ublažiti određene fizičke, psihičke nedostatke. Međutim, ponekad je lakše reći nego uraditi. Iz iskustva i u razgovoru sa roditeljima danas nije svako raspoložen da prihvati odgovornost i radi sa decom, kojoj je potreban malo drugačiji pristup u vodi. Negde tu i ima smisla, jer za takve ”bitke” potreban je iskusan vođa, često nadzor lekara kao i vreme. Ništa nije moguće preko noći. U zavisnosti od detetovog prvobitnog stanja, samim tim i napretka, benefiti koji se mogu videti već nakon određenog vremena su svakako: opuštenost u vodi, veća mobilnost pok
She continued swimming almost to the end of her pregnancy. After she gave birth to a child, she went back to swimming only a month later, and continued with her top results a year later. What would be your advice for the future mums, who are not professional athletes: Should they swim? Svetlana Blazevic, a multiple Balkan and national champion in the Olympic triathlon, and a mother of a little Nikola, shares her experience as the Swimming Dad #Blog guest. She was also a Serbian national senior champion in 50m and 100m dolphin style races. In her career she managed to complete nine full and eight half Ironman races. How often did you swim/train when you became pregnant and until when? How did
U trudnoći je plivala skoro do kraja. Nakon porođaja plivanju se vratila posle mesec dana, a vrhunskim rezultatima godinu dana kasnije. Šta bi savetovala budućim mamama koje nisu profesionalni sportisti: Da li da plivaju? Za Swimming Dad kao #Blog gost, ispričala nam je višestruka balkanska i državna prvakinja Srbije u olimpijskom triatlonu Svetlana Blažević, a pre svega mama jednog Nikole. Jedan od njenih najvećih uspeha je 10. na Svetskom kupu u disciplini olimpijski triatlon. Svojevremeno, je bila državna prvakinja Srbije u plivanju u seniorskoj konkurenciji na 50 i 100m delfin. U svojoj dosadašnjoj karijeri završila je devet celih i osam polu Ironman trka. Koliko si plivala/trenirala kad
Nowadays there is a great number of different programmes for the pregnant women both in and outside the water, compared to the times of our grandmothers or even mothers. The only question remains whether you are willing or have desire to moderately exercise and swim during your pregnancy. But first consult your doctor and find a professional swimming coach. Although, in my wife’s and the experience of some of my friends and trainees, no matter whether it is your first or the fourth pregnancy, this modern age imposes even more worries, dilemmas, questions, the future mother keeps asking herself. Is it safe to swim while I’m pregnant? Is my baby safe while I’m exercising, swimming? Which moves
Za razliku od perioda naših baka, mama, danas za trudnice postoji veliki broj programa kako u vodi, tako i van nje. Pitanje je samo vaše volje da li želite da umereno vežbate, plivate i tokom trudnoće, naravno uz konsultaciju lekara i uz stručni nadzor instruktora. Sa druge strane, bez obzira da li je prva ili četvrta trudnoća, moderno doba donosi činimi se, mnogo više brige, dilema, pitanja, koje buduća majka sebi postavlja. Da li je bezbedno tokom trudnoće da plivam? Da li je moja beba sigurna dok se brčkam u vodi, vežbam, plivam? Koje pokrete u vodi mogu da radim i kojom tehnikom mogu da plivam dok sam trudna? Da li hlor može da šteti mojoj bebi? Da li ovo, da li ono.... Slažem se da treb
Ever since I was a child I have enjoyed different family gatherings, holidays that would always bring new colours and smiles into our home. I remember how my granny used to get us together for Easter when I was still a boy. On Good Friday we would help her paint the eggs. Each of her grandchildren was supposed to paint one red egg as their house protector until the next Easter. Of course, we would end up having more dye on our hands than on the eggs. Usually there were some eggs missing, because we managed to break them. However, what wasn’t missing were the heaps of laugh and joy in our children’s creativity. On Easter Day, at my granny’s place, the custom was to knock each other’s eggs fo
Od malena sam voleo porodična okupljanja, praznike koji uvek unesu nove boje i osmeh u dom. Dok sam bio dete, sećam se da nas je baka uvek okupljala za Uskrs. Na veliki petak, uvek smo joj pomagali oko farbanja jaja. Svako unuče je imalo zadatak da ofarba svoje crveno jaje kao simbol čuvara kuće, za narednu godinu. Naravno boje je bilo više po stolu i rukama, nego na jajetu. Često se dešavalo da po koje jaje i fali, jer smo ga razbilli. Međutim, osmeha i radosti u tom našem dečijem kreativnom stvaralaštvu, nije ni malo zafalilo. Na sam dan Uskrsa i u bakinoj kući, za doručak je bio običaj kucanja jajima. Dešavalo se da nam stariji podmetnu drveno jaje i tako pokušaju da nas pobede. Međutim,
Multiple world record holder in kickboxing (WAKO – World Association of Kickboxing in the category of 55kg in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999), as well as the national champion of Hungary (18 times from 1991 to 1999) Rita Pesuth is today’s Swimming Dad #Blog guest.

Rita explains, from her own experience, what the benefits of the baby swimming are, who is more relaxed in the swimming pool mum or the baby, and when she decided to enrol her baby in the swimming classes. From your experience, what are the benefits of the baby swimming for mothers and babies? In my experience, the benefits of
Višestruka svetska rekorderka u kik boksu (WAKO – Svetska asocijacija kik boksa u kategoriji od 55kg 1993.,1995., 1997., 1999. godine), kao i nacionalna šampionka Mađarske (18 puta od 1991. do 1999. godine), Rita Pesuth je današnja Swimming Dad #Blog gošća. Nakon svoje veoma uspešne karijere, odlučila je da se posveti kik boks fitnesu kao i plivanju za bebe. Rita objašnjava, iz ličnog iskustva, koji su benefiti plivanja za bebe, ko je opušteniji u bazenu mame ili bebe, i kada je odlučila da svoju bebu upiše na časove plivanja. Iz tvog ličnog iskustva, koji su to benefiti bebi plivanja za majke i bebe? Iz mog iskustva, benefiti bebi plivanja su: bebe se kreću lakše u vodi nego na suvom; redov
