“Anja Yakymchuk from Dvorichna jumps into the pool with such a scream that we already thought of saving her. But it turned out that the girl always has such a crazy passion for contact with water. She swims in the adult sports pool, and she goes to the children’s pool just to play.
The child swam the distance that had to be covered for the record (as it seemed to us) without much effort. There was no need for candy or new toys, which sometimes coaches hold in front of a child in the water to make him row more skillfully.” – said Lana Vetrova after setting the record.
The girl’s coach is Ihor Konstantinov. According to the head of the National Register of Records, Anya is already his second little pet who became a Ukrainian record holder.
We will remind, Poltava rescuer Andrii Grechany established national record by running 21.1 kilometers in full gear weighing 22.5 kilograms. He dedicated his record to his fallen brother.
