SWIMMING IN THESSALONIKI

OUR HISTORY

The Pisces swimming team was founded with much love in September 2011, by Nikolas Hatzigiakoumis and Christina Chrysochoidou a few months after the birth of our son – who is a PISCES, hence our name.

Our love for children and sports initially led us to become educators and eventually to dedicate our lives to the most organized infant swimming program in Greece. Then, during the pregnancy of our second child, we brought from Russia the unique aqua yoga program for pregnant women to Northern Greece. Through our need to raise – together with – our two children, we discovered that it is not just a swimming learning program, but a way of life!

OUR GOAL IS TO CHANGE MENTALITY

Our swimming pools are meeting places for parents and children, where we share the same interests, where we seek the best and where we try to change the mentality for the proper upbringing of our children. Our basic idea is to spend as much meaningful time as possible with our children, to hug them, to observe them and thus learn to respond directly to their needs, so that they are full of love in the first but most important years for their psychological and social development.

Through sports, music, meetings and seminars, on issues that concern us such as correct approaches, school, breastfeeding, childbirth, first aid, we become stronger every day for both ourselves and our children.

Through learning, we understand that the parent's journey never ends and if we dedicate a little time, a lot of love - and go a little further - this world can definitely be a better place!

MORE ABOUT SWIMMING IN THESSALONIKI!

Swimming brings great joy to the lives of toddlers, babies and parents alike. If we are happy, they are happy too!

The earlier a child starts infant swimming, the faster they will develop immune defenses and skills for their absolute safety in and out of the water, since they will have strong self-esteem through all that they see themselves accomplishing.

NIKOLAS AND OUR TEAM

In the Ichthys swimming team, the program manager is Nikolas Hatzigiakoumis, one of the few and most experienced infant swimming instructors in Greece.

He is a Physical Education Teacher, with a main specialty in swimming and holds four baby swimming diplomas from the Official Australian Baby Swimming Educational Group (AUSTSWIM) as well as the most recognized baby swimming and aqua yoga providers for pregnant women in Europe, Birthlight and STA.

He worked for many years as a coach and program manager at the Hydria club, the first infant swimming club in Greece, in 3 swimming pools in Athens (OAKA, Palini, Agioi Anargyroi)
His long experience as a family trainer, with prominent personalities in Athens, is another aspect of his multifaceted work experience.

Additionally, he holds an international lifeguarding, first aid and diving certificate, a water ski coach certificate, while at the same time he has attended a series of baby swimming and toddler education seminars.

His passion for sports, but especially his love for children (father of two), are the two main factors that led him to the decision to first become an educator and then to dedicate his life to baby swimming, bringing to Thessaloniki the most organized baby swimming and aqua yoga program for pregnant women.
