Expressing graduate to Mrs. Neda Gudelj and Mr. Zivko Paranos, both his first trainers, Slavko would like to put the emphases at that time, when he earned the fundament dedication to this worthy sport. In the period from 1988 to 1995 his complete swim development was in hands of Prof. Ivan Zuber at Jadran Swimming and Water Polo Club, Herceg Novi, Montenegro.

Ovom preporukom zelim posebno da istaknem G-dina Slavka Pamucinu, modernog trenera i eksperta u plivackom sportu u domenu brzog razvoja najmladjih plivackih kategorija kadeta i pionira, ali i juniora i seniora. 

Njegova prethodna iskustva datiraju pre svega iz perioda njegovih sportskih i plivackih aktivnosti u plivackom i vaterpolo klubu "Jadran" iz Herceg Novog u radu sa Prof. Ivanom Zuberom zivom legendom plivackog sporta bivse Jugoslavije ali i Italije, te jednu sezonu sa bivsim selektorom Jugoslavije Prof. Aleksandrom Skanatom. U ovom trenutku, Slavko Pamucina je jos uvek aktuelni rekorder Republike Crne Gore u disciplini 50 m kraul.

Shodno svom 4-voro godisnjim planu razvoja, menadzment plivackog kluba "Swim Star 2000" iz Beograda angazovao je Slavka Pamucinu na pocetku sezone 2003/2004 za svog sefa struke. Vec tokom 2004, Slavko je izveo dva sampiona Srbije i drzavna reprezentativca (Igor Rasula i Stevan Sosic), koji su u nacionalnom timu uzeli ucesce na balkanijadi 2004 (Novi Sad). Od 2005, Slavko se seli u Italiju i postaje sef struke Italijanskog kluba Messina Polisportiva, gde postize vredne uspehe u radu sa mladjim kategorijama. Cilj ove preporuke je da se informise domaca, ali inostrana sportska javnost, a ovom ekspertu omoguci da se ukljuci i u druge sportske aktivnosti. Pamucina je proveo u plivackom sportu ukupno 16 godina kao aktivni sportista, 2 godine kao trener skola plivanja i instruktor, u letnjim periodima kao spasilac (Life Guard), dve sezone prvi trener popularnog Beogradskog kluba "Swim Star", a od 2005-2007 prvi trener kulba Messina ASD u Italiji. Apsolvent je Fakulteta za fizicku kulturu, Univerziteta u Beogradu.

Preporucujemo G-dina Pamucinu za svaku poziciju u raznim modernim aktivnostima u sportu, a zadrzavamo pravo da ga konsultujemo u svim potrebama koje se budu ticale nasih plivackih aktivnosti, a u slucaju da se odluci da svoja znanja i iskustva u sportu prenese i na druge organizacije (u zemlji i inostranstvu).
