One of our missions, as a club, is to turn every dream into reality, to make everyone use the power they carry within themselves. We continue to implement new methods for training, development and motivation for our swimmers. For this reason, we also used more inspiring and interesting way to meet successful athletes with our children, thus giving them the opportunity to look at their success stories, because we are determined step by step to establish ourselves as a leader in swimming, to develop young talents and to contribute to the development of this sport.
We won the first team cup for the club at the National Championship children 11-12 years old in the town of Sandanski, first place among girls and second among boys.
We consolidated our champion status in up to 12 years by winning first place in the general ranking of the National Championship. We also topped in terms of medals won
First time entry in the A final of the State Championship Men and Women of Alex Stoynov, 2006 in the 200m medley.
Competitions are an opportunity for swimmers to showcase their skills and compare themselves to other swimmers. By participating in competitions, they can get an objective assessment of their achievements and see where they can improve. In this regard, our task as coaches is to take our athletes from where they are to where they have to be.
This year we have successfully held four sports camps. Camps are valuable to us because they help athletes improve, motivate themselves and prepare for success. Through them we provide an intensive and focused environment in which children can build on their skills and technique. During this experience of ours, children are also offered lectures and other educational activities that can help them expand their knowledge about swimming. They can learn a lot about nutrition, psychology, teamwork and other important topics.
Days before the Christmas and New Year holidays, we held our traditional Christmas swimming tournament. Emil Milkov greeted the guests and noted that in 2021 Olimp won a record number of medals from competitions in the Bulgarian swimming federation calendar and national championships.
Guided by the saying that a person is truly happy when helping others, for another year children, parents and coaches joined the wonderful initiative with a cause - Run2Gether Bulgaria 2021, a 5-kilometer marathon with thousands of participants.
In these videos, we introduce children and all swimming enthusiasts to the stories of many successful Bulgarian athletes. They will be available on our website so that we can return to emotions that we would like to feel again.
On June 12 we held one of our new initiatives for the second time, namely an assessment of the swimming level for the children in the club, by awarding them with a certain color of bracelet. Bracelets are a visual expression of progress, but also a responsibility, with each color comes the need for new skills and technique.
