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

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?
