Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov visited the Olimpiysky sports complex in Chekhov, where they held free lessons for the children of participants in a special military operation (SVO), according to the press service of the regional administration.
“I hope your children are having a great time in the pool today. Wake is a youth sport that combines skiing, snowboarding and classic surfing. It is also important that there are other classical sports in children’s waterboarding, for example, swimming, gymnastics, acrobatics and even dance, ”said Vorobyov.
Supboarding and wakeboarding – boarding on the water. In the first case, this is done standing up with the help of a long shovel. And there are two variants of water skiing: boat – when the athlete is pulling a ship, and cable – when using a winch or cable harness.
The length of the 50-meter pool is sufficient to teach the basics of these disciplines and perform jumps or tricks.
“I met Andrei Yuryevich Vorobyov in Serpukhov and offered to develop water recreational activities here in the Moscow region: catamarans, boats, rowing, sapboards and other areas. And here is the result – we have the opportunity to water ski all year long,” he said.
The swimming pool in Olimpiyskiy is the main training base for Russian synchronized swimmers. It was repaired for the first time in 17 years on behalf of Andrei Vorobyov two years ago. Every year competitions of various levels are held here, including international competitions – “Russian Matryoshka”.
