Daddy, I don't feel like going to the training today. Mum, could you please tell the coach that my tummy hurts and that I’m not in the mood for swimming today. Why should I go to the training today if just yesterday we had that competition and I won a medal? Look at this lousy weather, mum can I just skip today’s training, pleaseeeee… I’m sure these sentences are familiar to you, not only when it comes to the excuses for training, swimming, but any form of learning… If childr

Tata, danas mi se ne ide na trening. Mama, reci treneru da me boli stomak, nisam baš raspoložen danas za plivanje. Zašto da idem na trening danas, kada sam juče imao takmičenje i osvojio medalju. Vidi koje je nevreme, da li mogu da preskočim čas, danas moooolim te mama... Siguran sam da su vam ove rečenice poznate, ne samo kao izgovori za trening, plivanje, već i za bilo koji oblik učenja... Ukoliko deca nisu motivisana, i za najmanju stvar, a kamoli za plivanje, izgubiće in

Once they get children, the majority of men, with a few honourable exceptions, become totally negligent… They start neglecting their health, the way they look, because, oh boy, now they have their own haven. On the contrary, that it the very time you should pay some extra attention to your well-being, and your health, since by doing so, you give an example and you will feel more responsible to yourself and to your family, children. I know, most of you would come up with: Yeah

Danas većina muškaraca, čast izuzecima, kada dođu deca, opuste se u svakom smislu... Zanemare svoje zdravlje, izgled jer bože moj imaju svoju mirnu luku. Naprotiv, tek tada treba dodatno da vodite računa o sebi, svom zdravlju, jer dajete primer i imate veću odgovornost kako prema sebi tako i porodici, deci. Znam, većina vas bi mi sad rekla: Jeste, kako, kada... svaki slobodan trenutak jedva čekam da gledam neku dobru utakmicu sa ekipom, budem sa porodicom, odmorim, i sl. Znam

Kako savremena žena da integriše plivanje u svoj život? Zašto žene treba više da plivaju? Zašto je plivanje dobro za mame? O ovim pitanjima treba da govorimo što češće, kako bi nam mame, sestre, žene, tetke, ujne, strine, komšinice, koleginice bile što zadovoljnije, zdravije! Zato da ponovimo još jednom... Da li žene, majke, «kraljice» danas imaju vremena za sebe, a kamoli još i za plivanje? Ili se utrkuju sve više sa mnogobrojnim «to do listama», koje same sebi nametnu od su

How should a modern woman integrate swimming in her life? Why should women swim more? Why is swimming good for mummies? We should discuss this topic more often so that our mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, neighbours, colleagues could be much more pleased and healthier! So let’s say it once again…. Do wives, mothers, «queens» have enough time for themselves today, not to mention swimming? Or they are just struggling with the never-ending «to do lists» they make to themselves ke
