With ARGO this June... we "set sail"!

A beautiful new collaboration with ARGO Kindergarten Fill our pool with endless smiles!

We would like to thank the school principal, Mrs. Persa Psalti, and the Pontian Ladies' Care for the initiative of including children's swimming in their summer program, and especially for their trust in the Pisces Swimming Team!

We feel great gratitude for the wonderful teachers at their school, for their impeccable cooperation and their response to consistently and joyfully undertake the implementation of the program!

Finally, a big thank you to the school's parents for their trust and to their amazing "ARGO-navtopoulas" for the wonderful moments we spent together!!

Happy Summer to all of you!!!

The Saffron Chicks in our pool!

OR Zafrana Montessori School It is one of the schools of our heart!

What can one say about this school? 

For their pioneering pedagogical approach, for their willingness to participate in their parenting school last September and talk about infant and toddler swimming, for their trips to our pool, for their support, kind words and love...

Now we have an even greater joy! 

The Saffron Kids will be swimming and playing in our pool during their summer camp! 

We thank Anna Zafiriou and Marianna Mavridou for all of the above and most of all for the trust you show us!!!

Saffron children and Saffron teachers are waiting for you!!!!

First Aid Seminar for infants and children! A very meaningful experience!

On Saturday 15/6, our established Free First Aid Seminar for infants and children took place at Euromedica – Relief

We would like to warmly thank the Bayline – Lifeguard Academy of Greece and especially Mr. Athanasios Kotsomytis who generously offered us his knowledge and with his contagiousness we managed to assimilate all this very useful and important information. We also particularly thank the Euromedica – Relief who hosted the seminar and of course all of you who brought the event to life with undiminished interest!

Be well everyone!

Mikrokosme, thank you very much for your trust!

With great emotion and unspeakable joy, we are completing this year, for the 3rd consecutive year, our wonderful collaboration with the “O Mikrokosmos” Nursery and Kindergarten! And, yes, the joy is unspeakable, because on the faces of Myrtos and Mr. Dimitris Kymbaris, owners of the school, we have found two allies and supporters in our swimming and educational work over the years. Two people with a common philosophy with ours: in the holistic education of young children (mind-body-spirit), in the importance of their swimming education and their health, and above all in building the children's self-confidence in and out of the water!

A big thank you to the teachers of Mikrokosmos, and specifically to Dimitra, who we met this year, for her impeccable cooperation and wonderful comments on the development she observed in the children's psychology! You are our heroines! And we know very well that without your cooperation, your sense of responsibility and love for the children, and your "motherly" care in the locker rooms, where you sweat and sweat, the implementation of the program would not be the same!

 

An even bigger thank you, from all of us, to you, the parents of Mikrokosmos, for entrusting us with your children and for sharing countless moments of play and joy with them!!!

Have a nice summer, Microcosm! Keep making the world “bigger”!!!

 

Pisces: The results of the pre-competition team's swimming competitions!

Consistent with the pool appointment, the Pisces pre-season team attended the competitions held at the National Swimming Pool on 09/06/2019! This was the second time that our athletes participated in official swimming competitions!

Once again, they made us all proud with their amazing effort! Within a short period of time from the team's first official swimming competitions, all our athletes managed to beat their times and fill themselves with confidence for the demanding continuation! Before the start of the competitions, the feelings of anxiety and impatience were obvious. However, after the end of the competitions, joy and satisfaction took their rightful place on the faces of our young athletes after they saw that their persistent effort had paid off!

Another swimming chapter was written with a positive sign, but the effort continues! The competitions will continue and we are sure that today's pre-competition team of Ichthys will move forward dynamically! It will make us all proud and first and foremost themselves!

In the link below you can see the results as they were listed on the K.O.E. site. https://koe.org.gr/koearchive/kolimvisi/apotelesmata In the type of event we select DAYS and then SUMMER GAMES 9-10-11-12 YEARS OLD THESSALONIKI.

On the same day, the Swimmer's Day was held for our youngest children. The excitement there was great, as was the "promise" our little fish made for the future! They will undoubtedly be there when the time comes to take over from our big fish! 

Show off our stars!

 

Thank you to the 1st EPAL of Kalamaria!

On 3/6/19, the children from the nursery assistant and nurse department of the 1st EPAL of Kalamaria visited our pool in Kalamaria! Our Julia gave the students a tour of our space and gave them all the information about the benefits of baby swimming. We are particularly happy to inspire the new generation! We tried to convey to them the love for what we do! All the children showed great interest and we are sure that they will have a wonderful career! And who knows? When you open up and are together, everything grows more and more!! We would like to thank Mrs. Vasso Tzimourtou for the trust of her students and the excellent professionalism of all of you at the 1st Primary School of Kalamaria!

The Pisces coaching team never gets complacent!!!

On March 31, 2019, a certified Beco aqua college seminar was held in our city on the topic of Beboard pilates and active motion, with the presenter and creator of the program, Professor Mariano Solier, who is one of the leaders in aquatic exercise!

The entire organization was organized by All About Aquatics at the multi-purpose gym All Star Top Fitness.

As part of our continuous development and faithfully following the Body-Mind-Spirit triptych, we attended with a representative team of coaches!

We entered the…pleasant! position of the trainee, refreshed our knowledge, enriched our training repertoire and returned to our base to share our knowledge with you and the rest of the Ichthys team.

Our club is growing every day and we are always happy to be prepared, enriching our knowledge and our programs!

Thank you all so much for the hospitality and the wonderful sharing! The rest in our pools!!

The ICHTHYS swimming club, in the first official swimming competitions in its history!

The ICHTHYS swimming club, at the first official Swimming Games in its history!

A big dream comes true! The moment has come when our team, our Pisces, our club, took part in official Swimming Competitions for the first time! For many of us, the emotion was particularly great! Especially for those who have been competing for this team, in and out of the pool, literally and figuratively, since 2011, when Pisces was still focused only on its part. baby bathing! And yes, you understood correctly, some of our children who competed with the Pisces logo on their heads but above all in their hearts, have been with us since they were babies! It is moving not only because you see children, whom you literally know before their first steps, but because we know that you are also with us, fellow travelers, from the first steps of Pisces! We are very proud of all our athletes! They are the best! And you parents are the best! and looking back at all these years that we have spent, here at Pisces, we are sure that in this new common beginning for all of us, since it found us together again, success is a given! Congratulations again to our children and of course to our coach Mr. Giannis Giannoulis! The success was HUGE! We continue our daily struggle, each in their own way, until we reach the top! See you at the pools!

Pisces held another baby swimming seminar!

Another great seminar by STA took place from 17/05 to 19/05 with Danae Zelioti-Souzo and Nikolas Hadjigiakoumis in our wonderful space in Calamari!

Through all this sharing of experiences and knowledge, we can now say with confidence that we are very excited that through all these seminars, we are giving young people the opportunity to learn about baby swimming and in turn have the opportunity to utilize this knowledge and make happy parents and babies who will live this experience!

In this three-day experience, through the theories of baby swimming but also through the practical parts, we all became a team!

Once again, it was proven that when you learn something about infants and engage with it, there is no other path than the path of love and understanding.

Danae, thank you once again for your excellence, professionalism and responsibility in all this valuable sharing of knowledge!

See you again!
