As the summer holidays are approaching, I constantly hear that famous question “Where are we going on holiday?”. Should we go together with our friends, kids, my sister, alone… Should we go by car, train or plane? Do we need to book a hotel with or without the swimming pool? What is the right choice for you, your family, your kids? Of course, it depends on what we want to get from our holiday. If you choose to spend your holiday at the seaside, and you have already crossed all those miles to get there, you should try and use it in the best possible way. Swimming pool is always useful if it is a part of your accommodation, but it’s not essential. Here are a few reasons why to choose the sea i

Kako se bliži leto i vreme godišnjih odmora, sve više čujem priče ”gde ćemo na more? Da li ići sa prijateljima, kumovima, decom, sestrom, solo... Da li kolima, vozom ili avionom? Da li se odlučiti za hotel sa ili bez bazena? Uvek je pitanje šta izabrati najbolje za sebe, svoju porodicu, decu. Naravno, to sve zavisi od toga šta želimo od svog odmora na moru? Ukoliko ste izabrali da vaš odmor bude more, i prešli kilometre i kilometre do njega, iskoristite ga maksimalno na pravi način. Bazen je naravno uvek dobrodošao, ako je u sklopu vašeg smeštaja, ali nije neophodan. Evo i nekoliko razgloga zašto baš izabrati more umesto bazena, kada ste već na moru: Jutro na plaži: Jutarnja kafa na plaži do

Sebastijan Higl is one of the most successful swimming coaches in Serbia. He managed to achieve some fantastic successes with swimmers such are Nadja Higl, Velimir Stjepanovic, Caba Siladji, etc. Thanks to swimming, Sebastijan was able to travel the world. As a Swimming Dad #Blog guest, Higl will tell us what happens when he spins the globe, what place he would like to return to, or which continent he is yet to conquer. Sebastijan is currently a coach of the senior Serbian national swimming team, as well as the coach of the Partizan swimming club from Belgrade.

Sebastjan Higl, jedan je od najuspešnijih plivačkih trenera Srbije. Mnogobrojne uspehe, sjajne rezultate, ostvario je trenirajući vrhunske plivače kao što su: Nadja Higl, Velimir Stjepanović, Čaba Silađi… Zahvaljujući plivanju Sebastijan je proputovao skoro ceo svet. Za Swimming Dad kao #Blog gost, Higl nam je otkrio kada zavrti globus, na koje mesto bi se ponovo vratio i zašto, a koji kontinent tek treba da osvoji? Sebastijan je trenutno trener seniorske plivačke reprezentacije Srbije, kao i trener Plivačkog kluba Partizan iz Beograda.

Uskoro počinje školski rasput. Radujem se predstojećim letnjim mesecima, ne samo zbog te slobode koju deca dobiju kada se završi škola i vannastavne aktivnosti, već i zbog putovanja i osvajnja novih kilometara. Za mene su putovanja, isto kao i plivanje - način života. To vam niko ne može oduzeti. Jeste da je ponekad naporno, spakuj, raspakuj, spakuj, raspakuj, pogotovo kada dođu deca... Međutim, kada posle sednem i prevrtim sve te slike u glavi, pročitam knjigu, pogledam film koji me vrati na to isto mesto, osećaj je stvarno dobar, i samo je moj! Zavrtite globus, putujte i plivajte, jer tada: U pokretu smo. Da bi stigao do cilja, određene destinacije, potrebno je da pređete, preplivate dosta

The school break is about to begin. I am looking forward to the summer months, not only because of the freedom children get when the school and the extracurricular activities are over, but because of the new trips and conquering new destinations. To me, travelling, in the same way as swimming, are my life style. That is something no one can take away from you. It is sometimes a hassle to pack, unpack, pack again, especially when you have kids… However, when I sit down and go through all the images in my head, read a book, or watch a film that takes me to that very spot, I feel really good, and that feeling is only mine! Spin the glob, travel and swim because you: Are on the go. In order to r
