SHVEDOV Stanislav

General
FOOTSTEPS
His father Alexandr Shvedov said that he did not push his son to play water polo. "I enrolled Stanislav in swimming. He showed decent results. At age 12 he was taken to a sports boarding school, where I once studied, and a year later he made such progress that he began to compete with the best swimmers of the country in his age. But at one point, Stanislav independently decided to switch to water polo. Although we'd had conversations on this topic, we clearly agreed among ourselves: when he fulfills the level of a Candidate for Master of Sport in swimming, then he will make his final choice. But he did not quite reach that level. To be honest, I was so uncomfortable in front of his coach. The impression was that it was me who initiated his transition to water polo."
