The Police Sports Swimming Club Pezinok was established at the end of 2013. Despite the fact that the Club is a “newcomer” among other swimming clubs in the area, it consists of long-term swimmers and coaches, whose only common goal is to bring up children as swimmers and sportsmen, thus motivating them to practice active sports in their free time.
The main goal of the Club is to create a positive attitude to water in children, to adapt to the aquatic environment and to teach them to swim with individual swimming methods with proper techniques, as for swimming to be effective, it must be done regularly with some intensity and for a sufficiently long period of time. A frequent problem for novice swimmers is that they get tired easily, whether due to incorrect breathing or bad swimming techniques. To have its effect, swimming must be performed in the long term, regularly and correctly, and this is exactly the task of our Club. Our next goal is to organize various events, trips and excursions for children in which we use what we know from the work of the Police Force of the Slovak Republic and thus present the work of police officers to children (either in the form of demonstrations or lectures), thus contributing – at least to a certain extent – to the prevention of crime. It is children who are a group endangered by dangerous anti-social phenomena, such as drug and alcohol abuse, school absenteeism, vandalism etc. Last but not least, children as a group face the highest risk, they are more likely to become the victims of crime, and therefore we consider it very important to raise awareness of the issue not only among children but also parents.
