Os Professores de Educação Física, Denise Araújo e Osvaldo Telles, proprietários da ACADEMIA VIVA ÁGUA, estarão participando, no próximo mês de outubro, de dois eventos internacionais de natação.

O primeiro, de 3 a 7 de outubro, no Canadá, será o WORLD AQUATIC BABIES CONFERENCE, como congressistas. Vão verificar como está o estado-da-arte da Natação para Bebês, uma das especialidades da Viva Água.

A Profa. Denise é referencia mundial no ensino de natação para crianças. Já há 10 anos Denise participa dos congressos mundiais de natação para bebês, ora como convidada para palestras, ora como congressista.

Este ano, o Congresso foi dividido em dois, sendo um na Inglaterra e outro no Canadá. Denise havia confirmado sua participação na Inglaterra, quando chegou o convite para falar no México. As datas estavam coincidindo. Então optou pelo evento do Canadá, que antecede ao do México. De Vancouver deve ir a San Luis de Potosi.

No México participará como conferencista e ministrará uma clínica de natação na VIII CLÍNICA INTERNACIONAL ACUATICA NELSON VARGAS, em San Luis Potosí, Mexico de 9 a12 de Octubre - www.anv.com.mx. – onde apresentará três trabalho:

- “Familiarización del bebé al medio acuático” - 9 de Octubre

- ” Actividades lúdicas para niños menores de 3 años” 10 de Octubre

- “De la enseñanza al alto rendimiento en la natación” 11 de Octubre

A Acuática Nelson Vargas “es una institución que lleva más de 30 años comprometida con el desarrollo, difusión y actualización de la natación en México, es por ello que desde hace algún tiempo, cada año realiza una Clínica Mundial de Natación, pues creemos que la realización de estas clínicas, contribuye al perfeccionamiento de la enseñanza de la natación en nuestro país. Este año, la Clínica ANV busca reunir a grandes personalidades de la disciplina; destacados entrenadores que han marcado la historia de la natación, expertos en temas de natación y de la enseñanza de natación, entre otros. El objetivo de la Clínica es el brindar un espacio común en el que cada uno de nuestros ponentes, comparta, a los asistentes, sus conocimientos, experiencias y motivaciones que los han llevado a lograr sus éxitos y al mismo tiempo, proporcionar conocimientos que ayudarán al desempeño de los nadadores, instructores y entrenadores de natación que asistan a la Clínica.”

Já Osvaldo está sendo convidado para expor mais dois temas: para as Escuelas de Natación: “Detalles técnicos en la enseñanza de los estilos” – clínica - a confirmar - e a parte de Entrenadores: Como establecer las correctas rutinas de entrenamientos en tierra, também a confirmar.

Lulu Cisneiro, diretora cientifica do evento do México, ao saber que Osvaldo estaria no Canadá, está estendo o convite para as conferencias no México.

The same scientific approach was made in the last two years, this time focusing on the Baby Aquatic Balance dimension.
