Julie-ann James dedicated her life to research, education and the creation of the best family water programme for baby swimming and the whole family. “Coming from a childhood of competitive swimming in Australia whereby you had to swim 4 hours a day takes a lot of focus drive and dedication. I applied these qualities into many years of researching Baby and Toddler swimming to develop a structured program that is now tried and tested successfully around the world.” Today, Juli

Julie ann James svoj život je posvetila istraživanju, edukaciji i kreiranju najboljeg porodičnog vodenog programa za bebi plivanje i celu porodicu (kreiranje uspešnog porodičnog Aquatic programa). S obzirom na to da sam odrasla u veoma takmičarski nastrojenom plivačkom okruženju u Australiji, gde morate da plivate 4 sata dnevno, potrebno je da budete u potpunosti fokusirani i posvećeni. Danas, Julie-ann James je vodeći globalni konsultant o bebi plivanju, kao i osnivač, jedne

The parent’s role in baby swim lessons is a big and a multiple one, especially active and to a large extent also the most important one. The best and maximum results can be achieved in work with the youngest children up to 3 years of age, when it is vital that parents are present. There are many reasons why it is insisted on engaging parents in baby swim lessons. Parents bring security and with their presence they make a contribution, creating a safe and secure setting for le

Uloga roditelja u časovima bebi plivanja je velika i mnogostruka, a prvenstveno veoma aktivna i u najvećoj meri i najvažnija.

Roditelji osiguravaju i doprinose svojim prisustvom, sigurno i bezbedno okruženje za učenje, fini motorički razvoj, sop

No sleeping, a bunch of dirty diapers, getting it changed all day around… We haven’t had enough sleep, adjusted our daily and nightly routines, and some mums have already started talking about baby swim lessons! Is this really happening? Is it real that someone is seriously considering the idea of “jumping” into a swimming pool with a baby? Is baby swimming a new-age parenting trend or a need wh

Stigla beba. Upoznaje ona nas, upoznjemo i mi nju. Nespavanje, gomila ukakanih pelena, svlači presvlači po ceo dan… Nismo se još ni dovoljno naspavali, uskladili dnevnu, noćnu rutinu, a neke mame već pričaju o bebi plivanju! Da li je realno? Da li je realno da neko stvarno razmišlja da “uskoči” u bazen sa bebom? Da li je bebi plivanje pomodarstvo modernog roditeljstva ili potreba koja je blagodet za mamu, tatu i bebu? Da li smo sve više roditelji “fenseri”, ukoliko želimo det

All children should learn how to swim, but he/she needs to enjoy it first, to be happy and relaxed in the water and around it. This is why it is important that the coach or a parent is a partner, and to know his/her role. This is not a parenthood lesson, but a story of my experience, how you, as parents, can help your child overcome difficulties in learning how to swim. This is why your role is important How?

Svako dete treba da nauči da pliva, ali prevashodno da uživa, igra se, bude zadovoljno i opušteno u vodi i oko nje. Zato je bitno da trener i roditelj budu partneri, i da svako zna svoju ulogu. Ovo nije lekcija o roditeljstvu, već priča iz mog iskustva, kako vi kao roditelj možete da pomognete vašem detetu da što lakše nauči da pliva. Zato je veoma važna i vaša uloga u plivanju. Kako?
