Teach children to swim for safety

During the summer, swimming lessons are chosen by many families for their children to both practice health and life skills, and contribute to protecting children's safety, preventing drowning, and limiting exposure to electronic devices.

Teachers instruct children in swimming movements at D&T Plaza Son La swimming pool, Chieng Coi ward.

Yen Anh hot water swimming pool in Chieng Coi ward attracts many children to learn swimming during the summer. Taking advantage of natural hot mineral water, the swimming pool helps children overcome their fear of cold, comfortably get used to the water and prolong their practice time, thereby making faster progress.

Ms. Quàng Thị Vân, a swimming instructor at the Yên Anh hot spring pool, said: Since the beginning of summer, I have taught more than 200 students, aged 6-15. Each class has 5-10 students, organized systematically, divided into shifts suitable for each age and level. We always closely monitor, correct each movement and incorporate safety skills such as handling cramps and recognizing dangerous water areas.

Swimming pools such as Picenza Aqua Pool, Water Supply Joint Stock Company No. 1, Chieng An Ward; Muong Thanh Hotel, Ha Anh, To Hieu Ward and D&T Plaza, Chieng Coi Ward... are equally bustling, welcoming hundreds of children to swim and learn to swim every day. The facilities all focus on safety with reasonably divided swimming areas, fully equipped with life buoys and supervised during opening hours.

Learning to swim with her child at Picenza Aqua Pool, Ms. Le Thi Nhung, Group 4, To Hieu Ward, shared: To motivate my child, I joined him in swimming lessons. The pool here is very large and divided into 5 lanes with a depth of 0.6 m to 0.9 m, very suitable for both children and adults. With a price of 1.2-1.5 million VND/course, this is a reasonable cost, helping children gain safety skills.

Nguyen Ha Bao Ngoc, 8 years old, shared: I am very happy to learn swimming this summer, not only to make new friends, but also to improve my health and learn life skills. I hope that after 10 sessions, I will be able to swim proficiently and know how to handle dangerous situations to save myself and help others.

The diversity of swimming pools and flexible learning methods have effectively met the swimming needs of children during the summer, showing the attention of parents and society to equipping them with skills to prevent drowning and helping them improve their health, develop life skills and protect themselves.
