Chiropractic Care For Children DR. BETH FLACK FROM FLACK FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC SHARES WITH US WHY CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS IMPORTANT FOR KIDS
WE SPOKE WITH DR. BETH FLACK FROM FLACK FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC ABOUT WHY CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN. Their office is designed especially for kids and how to make them feel less nervous and more like it’s playtime. In the waiting room there is a playhouse, train station, and coloring station that the kids love! They have two themed rooms for adjustments, The Ocean Room and The Jungle Room. The Ocean Room is painted a fun shade of blue and has an assortment of fish on the walls. The Jungle Room makes your kids feel like they are on an exciting safari! WHY IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE IMPORTANT FOR KIDS? Chiropractic care is important for kids because their nervous system is growing exponentially at this point in their lives. The first 1000 days of life, from conception to age 2, are a critical window for development. During this time, their brain is making major connections and making sure that their nervous

KIDS FROM ALL OVER THE CSRA LEARN SPORTSMANSHIP AND COMPETITIVE SWIMMING SKILLS DURING SUMMER LEAGUE
THIS SUMMER, A COMBINED TWENTY-ONE HUNDRED KIDS, AGES THREE TO EIGHTEEN, FROM AIKEN, COLUMBIA, AND RICHMOND COUNTIES PARTICIPATED IN THE CSRA SWIM LEAGUE. The league, which is run by volunteers and has been in existence for over forty years, drew thirteen hundred swimmers from Columbia County alone. “Our main purpose,” explains league President Missi Neskorik, “is to stimulate interest in competitive swimming, to provide a program of physical fitness as well as leadership through competitive swimming activities, to provide a means of teaching youth of all ages the meaning of good sportsmanship on a competitive basis, and to provide a competitive sport in which both boys and girls can participate.” Those who enjoy or follow Olympic swimming will agree with Missi concerning the competitive nature of swimming. “Swimming is one of the most competitive sports out there and it’s one of those sports where you use every single muscle in your body to do,” says Missi. “You have to be physically fit to be in the water.”

WATER & WOODS (CONTINUED)
Swimming serves as only one component of the overall goal of the CSRA Swim League. “Sportsmanship is a huge part of it,” says Missi. “We want to teach them that it’s a team effort – it’s not just me against you. It is points-based and first, second, and third places get points…. if you get any of those, you’re helping the team out.” Swimmers compete in races using four basic swim styles – freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke. Swimmers ages six and under swim freestyle and backstroke for twenty-five yards, and swimmers ages seven to eighteen swim all four styles for fifty yards. Twenty-one race teams make up the league. For competition, teams are divided into six divisions based on each team’s record and size. “Teams are normally based on neighborhoods,” says Missi. For kids who do not live in a neighborhood with a swim team, Missi adds, “We do have several of those neighborhoods that are open to outside kids that don’t have a pool to swim in.” Swim meets are held on Tuesday evenings in June, with divisional championships and an all-star night wrapping up the season before the fourth of July. In an effort to teach leadership skills and develop mentoring relationships, CSRA Swim League uses older swimmers as coaches and mentors. “That’s the most exciting part,” shares Missi. “As kids are coming up through swim, they are sometimes junior coaches by the time they are thirteen or fourteen years old.” Junior coaches teach younger kids basic swim strokes and techniques and take extra effort at practice to assist younger swimmers. “Older coaches are there to mentor the older swimmers and get them set up to excel, including holding clinics on
