Parents, but also coaches are wrong when they insist on putting on swimming fins to children at the very start, thinking that they will help the children learn how to swim more easily. What will happen once you take them off? How good are children at swimming when you take off the fins? Is putting on swimming fins to our children a good or a bad thing? When is the right time to put them on and why? When are swimming fins good, and when do they make it harder for children to learn how to swim? Indeed, fins can be helpful in a certain phase of swimming in children, but not at the very beginning, when they are learning how to swim. Here is an example: Ever since he started swimming, he’s been u
Roditelji, ali i treneri greše kada na startu stave peraja deci kako bi lakše i brže naučila da plivaju. Šta kada im skinete peraja? Koliko su tada stvarno plivači? Da li deci stavljanjem peraja pomažemo ili odmažemo? Kada je pravo vreme deci staviti peraja i zašto? Kada peraja pomažu, a kada odmažu deci dok uče da plivaju? Peraja stvarno mogu pomoći u određenoj fazi plivanja kod dece, ali ne i na samom početku, kada tek uče da plivaju. Evo i primera: Od kada je počeo da pliva, pliva uvek sa perajima. Iskreno, ne zna da pliva bez njih! Preciznije, ne zna da pliva sa opruženim nogama! Kako? "Od kada je ušao u vodu, od samog starta je nekako plivao sa nogama u žabljem položaju – bočno savijene

Can flat feet be treated or not? There are various studies about this. Are fallen arches in children an inborn or acquired deformity? There are different views from different perspectives. Can we actually prevent the phenomenon of flat feet in children or not? Here I won’t give you the answer to this question, but I will try to explain the exercises you could do in the water in order to prevent flat feet in children. I will remind you that swimming itself can be beneficial for each step your child makes, from the earliest age. Can swimming solve the issue of flat feet in children? Every foot is a story of its own. There is no universal "cure" when we talk about flat feet. Whether acquired or
Da li se ravni tabani leče ili ne? Postoje najrazličitije studije. Da li su spuštena stopala kod dece stečena ili urođena? Odgovor i na ovo pitanje stručnjaci često objašnjavaju iz različitog ugla. Da li se može uopšte sprečiti pojava ravnih stopala kod dece? U nastavku neću odgovoriti na ovo pitanje, ni na prva dva, već ću pokušati da vam ukažem kako kroz vežbice u vodi i plivanjem možete preventivno delovati na dečija stopala. Podsetiću vas kako plivanjem možete detetu olakšati svaki korak, od najranijih dana. Da li plivanje može da reši problem ravnih tabana kod dece? Svako stopalo je priča za sebe. Nema univerzalnog "leka" kada su u pitanju ravni tabani. Ravna stopala, bez obzira da li s
It’s impossible to give the right answer to this question, because every child is unique and has different dynamics in learning how to swim. Some people learn how to swim and float at the age of two, some do it at the age of twenty-two, and some don’t even at the age of fifty-five. I know many parents who would like their children to learn how to swim right away, and swim from one pool’s edge to another after the second swimming lesson, and win a medal after only one month of swimming.. Swimming, however, like all other skills we acquire, is a process. Practice has shown that the earlier your child comes in contact with the water and the pool, the less is the chance that he/she forgets his/
Nemoguće je dati tačan odgovor na ovo pitanje, jer svako dete je jedinstveno i samim tim uči da pliva različitim tempom. Neko nauči da pliva, održava se u vodi sa dve godine, neko sa dvadesetdve, a neko tek sa pedesetpet uđe do članka. Znam dosta roditelja, koji bi već sutra da im dete zapliva, prepliva bazen nakon drugog časa, izroni medalju nakon mesec dana… Plivanje, kao bilo koja druge veština koja se uči, je proces. Praksa je pokazala da što ranije vaše dete stupi u kontakt sa vodom i bazenom, manja je šansa da zaboravi svoje prirodno okruženje iz proteklih devet meseci u maminom stomaku. Stoga, ako želite da se vaše dete od malena opusti u vodi i nauči da pliva, trebate što pre krenuti
