• Disseminate drowning prevention skills to teachers
  • For a Ca Mau with no more drowning children
  • Strengthening education on knowledge and skills to prevent drowning for students
  • First aid when children drown

In rural areas, parents take advantage of ponds, lakes and swimming equipment at home to teach their children how to swim and prevent drowning. (Photo taken in Nguyen Phich commune).

To effectively prevent and combat drowning accidents, functional sectors should strengthen coordination with localities and schools to organize communication on drowning prevention and combat. Schools and youth union members in rural areas should coordinate with families and parents to propagate and educate visually, and open swimming classes to help children protect themselves when an accident occurs.

Practice holding your breath underwater, one of the first techniques when learning to swim.

Learning to swim not only helps equip children with safety and self-rescue skills, reducing casualties in case of accidents in waterways, but also helps them improve their health and physical development.

In central communes and wards, where there are many densely populated areas, many standard and large-scale swimming pools have been invested in, creating favorable conditions for swimming lessons.

Mr. Le Van Hien, Physical Education teacher, Phan Ngoc Hien High School for the Gifted, instructs swimming skills for students.
