Speaking at the launching ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh - Vice Chairman of Chu Pah District People's Committee informed: From 2022 to present, the whole district has 8 children died due to accidental drowning. There are many causes, but the most common cause is that children do not know how to swim and do not know how to handle situations when playing near ponds, lakes, streams... Along with that, the lack of attention and supervision of adults to children. Freedom to play in dangerous areas is also a risk of drowning. Moreover, in the living environment of each family, in addition to the community, there are many potential risks of drowning such as empty wells without a lid, lakes dug by people to serve production. but there are no warning signs of danger, no barriers…
To reduce the situation of children drowning, the universalization of swimming and knowledge and skills to prevent drowning for children is an urgent solution. In addition, the whole people need to regularly practice swimming safely and effectively to exercise health. Ponds, lakes and streams are attached with danger warning signs, fenced, etc. to minimize the situation of children drowning in Chu Pah district.
It is known that from 2017 up to now, Chu Pah district has invested in building 4 artificial swimming pools at primary schools, including Nghia Hung 2 Primary School, Ia Nhin Primary School, Ia Ka Primary School, and Ia Ka Primary School. Ia Phi Primary School. Since then, the swimming pools have enrolled 48 classes and granted certificates to more than 1.000 students.
