Couch potato


Don’t be a couch potato!
Get kids, and yourself, off the sofa and out the door. The Mayo Clinic reports that kids who watch more than an hour or two of television a day are at greater risk for a number of health problems, including:

  • impaired performance at school

  • behavioral difficulties, including emotional and social problems and attention disorders

  • obesity or being overweight
  • irregular sleep, including trouble falling asleep and resisting bedtime
  • less time to play

World Health Organisation recommends 60 minutes of physical activity for children every day! Don’t waste your children’s life and give a good example! You don’t have to spend a lot of money for sport – you can just take your kid for a walk, jogging or play on fresh air in hide and sick.
Motivate yourself and your kid will follow you!

The advantages of swimming for children


It has long been known that swimming is one of the best forms of physical activity that we can give to our body. Regardless of age, swimming not only improves our physical condition, but is also a great remedy for stress.

What benefits does this sport bring to children?

  • shapes the right posture,

  • strengthens the back muscles, which is crucial for the condition of the entire spine,

  • improves the motility of the entire body, helping to coordinate the work of arms and legs and to establish the rhythm of breathing,

  • improves efficiency, strengthening the heart and lungs,

  • it is a great stretching and relaxing exercise,

  • it allows our kids to get rid of excess energy!


It is worth remembering that swimming is a relatively safe sport. For children, water is a natural environment, and swimming lessons last much shorter than for adults. Do not forget, however, that children always have to swim under qualified rescuers or adults who can swim!
