Over 350 children at Water Sports. The 2024 edition took place on Wednesday 25 September at Lambioi Municipal Swimming Pool, it was a success.
The initiative is confirmed again this year a real water festival, with the pools transformed into play areas to allow the participants, pupils from the city's primary schools, to try your hand at tests based on various levels and degrees of ability.
The little swimmers were divided into shifts and the activity lasted from morning to early afternoon. To act as guides and ensure the security in the game, there were about twenty "insiders", including a dedicated instructor for children with disabilities. In the afternoon, surprisingly, they also dived into the water some athletes of the competitive swimming team of Sportivamente, making themselves available for advice and games.
All areas of the pool were involved in the activity, from the swimming pool to the diving pool and the teaching pool and the children were given full freedom to move and try their favorite activities to earn one or two bracelets, depending on their skill.
The aspiring little fish then competed in diving, water polo, water aerobics, scuba diving, a lifeguard and swimming course, synchronized swimming and an aquatics course.
To everyone, in the end, a towel and a cap were given as a gift as a memento of the day.
“We are happy to be able to resume this activity that was suspended for a few years during Covid – comments the Sports Councillor Monica Mazzoccoli -. Water sports represent an important segment of practicable physical activities, whose benefits are recognized by all. We know how important the water element is in the life of the human being and even more so in childhood. Swimming allows you to strengthen muscles, activates coordination, stimulates the circulatory and respiratory systems. Without underestimating the socialization factor and solidarity between companions. The morning in the pool also wants to be an opportunity to showcase the sports offerings of our municipal swimming pool, which does not end with free swimming, but offers a good variety of choices. I thank the schools for having joined once again with enthusiasm and the entire pool team, always available to welcome our initiatives".
“Belluno, thanks to the intense activity of its sports clubs, guarantees a wide range of sports that covers all age groups, from the youngest to adults and we should be proud of this – comments the mayor, Oscar De Pellegrin –. I have always said it and I repeat it, sport is an integral part of a young person's educational path, it is an essential element in training not only for the physical benefits, but also for the values it teaches, from team spirit to discipline to respect for the rules. In Belluno we can count on good facilities and on a continuous improvement of the sports structures that, also thanks to external funds, we are carrying forward with continuity”.
