A member of the Serbian National Team, Andrej Barna, has made his swimming career through various jumps and flip turns in the European and world championships. Today, as a swimmer for the University Louisville Athletics, USA, and as the Swimming Dad #Blog guest, he talks about how the right dives and flip turns made him successful in the pool. At the 2015 World Championship in Kazan he was the fastest Serbian member of the 4x100 freestyle relay (the team consisted of Ivan Lenđer, Uroš Nikolić and Boris Stojanović). By swimming 50 meters freestyle at the 2018 European Championship in Glasgow, 20- year-old Barna found his place in the swimming history, as he broke the 10-year-old Serbian natio
Reprezentativac Srbije Andrej Barna, svoju plivačku karijeru gradio je kroz mnogobrojne skokove i okrete na evropskim i svetskim prvenstvima.

Jumping is one of the key elements for the development of motor skills in children, and it’s important for swimming as well. Children usually learn how to jump into the water before even jumping on the ground. Water jumping has a great impact not only on physical, but also on mental development of children. With every jump that children make, they learn how to keep the balance, to maintain coordination and precision of the moves, to become self-confident, and also to be brave, clever in unpredicted, new situations. Regardless of the age of a child, water jumping is an important technical element which children learn very early. It is not before the age of two that children become aware of th
Skok je jedan od ključnih elemenata za razvoj motorike kod dece, ali je bitan i za plivanje. Često deca nauče pre kako da skoče u vodu, nego na suvom. Skok u vodu utiče sjajno ne samo na fizičko razvijanje već i na dečiju psihu. Uz svaki skok u vodu deca dodatno savladaju balans, kako da uspostave koordinaciju, preciznost pokreta, steknu samopouzdanje, ali i da budu hrabrija, snalažljivija u neprijatnim, novim situacijama. Bez obzira na uzrast deteta skok u plivanju je bitan tehnički element koji se uči od samog početka. Deca obično oko druge godine počnu svesno da savladavaju skok kao veštinu. Većina dece nauči da pravi male skokove tako što se spuštaju niz stepenice, dok se skok, odraz sa
Our new Swimming Dad blog guest is one of the best young coaches at the moment in Croatia. Already two of his young swimmers achieved A standards for Tokyo Olympic Games 2020. His name is Mate Ružić! From his perspective and experience find out: Do all good swimmers become good coaches? What’s his greatest success as a coach? Also, we asked him to give one good advice to all swimmers who one day planning to become coaches. What is the thing all swimmers should know if they want to become good coaches? To become a coach, the swimmer who is thinking of becoming a coach one day, has to understand very well all the tasks given to him/her by his/her own coach. To be aware of the effort, to feel t
Naš novi blog gost za Swimming Dad je trenutno jedan od najboljih mladih trenera u Hrvatskoj. Već je dvoje njegovih plivača zadovoljilo vrhunske standarde za kvalifikovanje za Olimpijske igre u Tokiju 2020. godine. On se zove Mate Ružić! Iz njegove perspektive i iskustva saznajemo: Da li svi dobri plivači postanu i dobri treneri? Koji je njegov najveći uspeh kao trenera? A, takođe smo ga zamolili i da nam da jedan dobar savet za sve plivače koji jednog dana planiraju da postanu treneri. Šta svaki plivač treba da zna ukoliko želi da postane kvalitetan trener? Svaki plivač, da bi postao trener, ukoliko uopšte razmišlja o trenerskom statusu, mora dobro da razume svaki zadatak koji mu njegov tre
How could one choose a right swimming coach for his/her kid? How could one develop a healthy attitude to competition in a child, to swim and enjoy at the same time? How difficult it is to combine sport with school? Who trains whom, and where are the parent – coach limits? The dilemma about these questions has been resolved in the previous texts. However, there is another one: Does a good swimmer mean a good coach? In every field there are always those who are better at theory than at practice, and vice versa. This is why we have professors who make the amphitheatres full of students and who transfer their knowledge and experience in a great manner, while on the other hand we have the leading
Kako izabrati pravog trenera plivanja za svoje dete? Kako kod dece razviti zdrav takmičarski duh, da plivaju a da uživaju? Koliko je teško uskladiti sport i školu? Ko koga trenira, i gde su granice roditelj - trener? Dileme na ova pitanja razjasnili smo u prethodnim tekstovima. Međutim, nameće se pitanje: Da li se podrazumeva da dobar plivač bude i dobar trener? U svakoj profesiji uvek je neko bolji teoretičar nego praktičar i obrnuto... Zato i imamo profesore koji pune amfiteatre i besprekorno prenose svoje znanje i iskustvo, dok sa druge strane imamo vrhunske akademske stručnjake, koji su u svom poslu najbolji jedino kada su u «laboratoriji za mikroskopom». Jednostavno, neko zna da ispriča
