On the morning of May 31, at the beach in front of Sheraton Hotel (Loc Tho ward, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province), Nha Trang City People's Committee organized the 2025 Beach Festival, Children's Olympic Day and launched a campaign for the whole population to practice swimming to prevent drowning.
The event attracted thousands of local and foreign visitors. Nearly 200 professional and semi-professional athletes competed in the two-event event of sea swimming and running.
This is a highlight activity within the framework of the Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Sea Culture- Tourism Festival 2025, contributing to spreading the message of building an active lifestyle, improving community health, and promoting the image of people and the potential of local sea tourism.
According to a representative of the Department of Culture and Information of Nha Trang city, the event is not only a healthy and attractive playground during the summer but also incorporates a meaningful message about drowning prevention - an issue of special concern during the beach tourism season.
The Organizing Committee emphasized: “Preventing and preventing drowning is not only an individual responsibility, but also a common task of the whole society.” Ms. Tran Thi Thu Thao, a member of the KOS (Khanh Hoa Ocean Swimming) Swimming Club, shared: “I have been passionate about swimming since I was a child, but I only really learned proper techniques thanks to my coach in recent years. Swimming in the ocean every morning not only helps me stay healthy but also significantly improves my bone and joint problems."
In addition to the swimming and running competitions, the Festival also features folk games such as tug of war, sack race, relay race; team building activities, lion-unicorn-dragon performances, dances, hip hop... creating a bustling, community-rich atmosphere on Nha Trang beach.
The Organizing Committee also called on authorities at all levels, organizations, and schools to actively promote and organize swimming and water survival classes for students and residents. Parents should increase supervision and not let children swim in the sea or river without an adult. Students are encouraged to strictly follow safety regulations, proactively learn to swim, and learn how to respond to incidents.
The launch of the Nha Trang City Drowning Prevention Movement 2025 is an opportunity to create an exciting atmosphere in the community, diversify cultural- sports -tourism activities; contribute to spreading the image of Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa as a friendly, peaceful, and hospitable city to domestic and foreign friends./.
