Split training in the pool is a training format when two children with similar needs or training levels participate in one session. This approach allows each child to receive enough attention from the coach, while maintaining an element of interaction, play and team spirit. In the water, children feel freer, perform exercises more easily, learn to support each other and are motivated to work better. Training is conducted by experienced specialists who take into account the age, health status, parental requests and individual needs of each child.
