Ko je danas siguran u vodi? Šta je deci potrebno reći kada krenu sa društvom na bazen, reku... da se kupaju? O tome smo pričali. Sa druge strane, koliko su nam deca sigurna na časovima plivanja? Koja i kolika je odgovornost nas trenera? Da li svaki trener treba da ima i završenu obuku za spasioca, prvu pomoć, bez obzira što na bazenu postoji spasilac? Pitanja ima mnogo, a odgovor je samo jedan: Decu da plivaju, potrebno je da obučava isključivo stručan kadar u svakom smislu. Jer, naša deca treba da su sigurna i bezbedna u vodi i oko vode. Kasno je da mudrujemo i tražimo krivca kada se već nešto desi. Ali da, odgovornost je na svima nama. Svaki trener plivanja treba da edukuje svoje plivače.
Who is safe in the water now? What do we need to tell our kids when they go to a swimming pool or when they go swimming in a river with their friends? We’ve talked about it. On the other hand, how safe are our kids in the swimming lessons? What is the responsibility of us, the coaches? Does every coach have to have a completed training for a lifeguard and the first aid training, regardless of having lifeguards at the pool? There are a lot of questions, but the answer is only one: The swimming should be taught by professional staff only, in every aspect. Because our kids should be safe and secure in the water and around the water. It is pointless to be a philosopher and look for someone to bl

I believe that every parent gives a countless number of answers on daily basis… I am one of them. A thousand questions require a thousand answers… It’s not quite easy. To be honest, I often leave them in silence without an answer at that very moment since I get surprised by a question of a child who is only 3.5 years old. On the other hand, I also love “bombing” them with questions, to see the way they think, and observe things, and this is how I learn lots. For the two decades I have worked with children of different age, «small and big» swimmers, I have been using the method called «our secrets from the pool’s edge». Before we start with the class, I enjoy sitting with them at the pool’s e
Verujem da svaki roditelj tokom dana, odgovara na bezbroj pitanja... Taj sam i ja. Hiljadu pitanja, očekuje se hiljadu odgovora... Nije baš tako. Iskren da budem često ih ostavim u tišini bez odgovora baš tog trenutka, jer sam zatečen pitanjem deteta od 3.5 godine. Sa druge strane volim i ja njih da «rešetam», da čujem kako razmišljaju, tj koje stvari zapažaju, tako dosta toga naučim novog. Tokom dve decenije rada sa decom najraznovrsnijeg uzrasta, «malim i velikim» plivačima, primenjujem recept «naše tajne sa ivice bazena». Pre časa, često volim da sednem sa njima na ivicu bazena, i da diskutujemo o «bitnim» temama, kako bi sve «nevažne» stvari izbacili iz glave i opušteno plivali. Tu sazna

Zašto je testiranje za školu plivanja bitno? Kako roditelji reaguju na saopštene rezultate trenera? Za Swimming Dad kao #Blog gost, objašnjava Željko Panić, bivši plivački reprezentativac BiH, učesnik Olimpijskih igara u Sidneju 2000, i Atini 2004. na 100m kraul. Nakon plivačke karijere, Željko se posvetio trenerskom pozivu i radu sa decom. Danas radi pri Ujedinjenim Nacijama i kao Sportski direktor PK "Borac" u Banjaluci. 1. Zašto je testiranje pre upisa u školu plivanja bitno? Jako bitno! Da bismo znali na kojem je nivou znanja polaznik, neophodno je da izvršimo test. Prvi test je da proverimo da li se dete boji vode, tačnije da li sme da stavi glavu u vodu. Ako dete ne sme da stavi glavu
