In the mountainous region of Quang Tri , in recent years, teacher Ho Thi Dung (physical education teacher at A Tuc Primary and Secondary School, Huong Hoa District) has volunteered to take her ethnic minority students to "makeshift swimming pools" in mountainous rivers and lakes to teach them swimming and water safety skills.
Of course, in the efforts to "popularize swimming" for children, the presence of young volunteers is indispensable. Whether in the plains, the midlands, or the mountains, enthusiastic young people will never refuse to become "unwilling swimming teachers." Where conditions permit, youth union members use swimming pools; in difficult areas like Vinh Ha commune (Vinh Linh district, Quang Tri province), young people use bamboo poles, reeds, and plastic containers to build rectangular pools (10 x 15 m) on a section of the river.
Unable to remain indifferent to the heartbreaking news of drowning incidents, dozens of officers and soldiers from Thanh Border Guard Post (Quang Tri Provincial Border Guard Command) bravely took hundreds of students from Xy commune (Huong Hoa district) to the Se Pon River on the Vietnam-Laos border to teach them how to swim for free.
The image of border guards wading through the river to help children learn to swim, while on the bank, medical personnel instruct on drowning prevention and first aid procedures... though somewhat unusual, is truly beautiful.
It's now clear that teaching swimming isn't just for teachers. The education sector doesn't have enough personnel to handle everything; not to mention that during summer vacation, when children return home to their families, teachers can't possibly supervise them all. Therefore, the involvement of relevant authorities, and even society as a whole, in teaching swimming and preventing drowning truly needs to be strongly encouraged and promoted.
