Two-year-old girl from Odessa set a record in Ukraine for swimming.


Two-year-old Emma Klochkova from Odessa became the youngest child in Ukraine to swim 25 meters in a pool. This was reported by the head of the National Register of Records of Ukraine, Lana Vetrovа.
She needed 3 minutes and 29 seconds to achieve this record. Her coach was Ilona Harkun, who submitted the application to the National Register of Records.
«On the day of the record, two-year-old Emma Klochkova had mood issues. Every woman knows that if she is not in the mood, it is better not to approach her. So before the record, everyone asked to leave her alone, but coach Ilona Harkun stayed with her to convince her that a bad mood can be overcome in water», – said Vetrovа.
According to Vetrovа, Emma jumped into the water, swam the entire lane of the adult pool, and set a record in Ukraine. Everyone present at the pool applauded her.
«Obviously, Emma's mood returned because she swam this distance two more times in different lanes. But she did not smile at the camera because let them not think that it is easy for stars», – joked the head of the National Register of Records of Ukraine.
Let's remind that earlier two-year-old Anya Yakymchuk from Chornomorsk in the Odessa region became the youngest child in Ukraine to swim a distance of 50 meters freestyle. She did it in 3 minutes and 6 seconds, reported Vetrovа.
The new record holder is two years and six months old, and the category of her record is «Youngest child to swim a distance of 50 meters freestyle». The Time recorded for this record is 3 minutes and 6 seconds.
