On the morning of May 26, in Mong Cai City and Hai Ha District, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the province coordinated with local authorities to organize a professional training course on swimming and drowning rescue in 2025. The program had the participation of 69 students who are sports officers, physical education teachers, tour guides and employees of tourism and sports service businesses in the area.

Taking place over 4 days from May 26-29, the training course equips trainees with comprehensive knowledge and skills on drowning prevention, from water environment monitoring theory, special swimming teaching methods for children, to practicing rescue swimming techniques, handling dangerous situations and artificial respiration.

Officials from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism opened a class in Hai Ha district.

The class is taught directly by experienced lecturers from Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports, simulating many real-life situations to help students master rescue and escape skills in water environments.

Classes in Mong Cai City practice training exercises at Vinhome Mong Cai swimming pool (Mong Cai City).

In addition to the professional content, students must also pass a final exam including a 200-meter swim, a 25-meter practical swim to approach and guide a victim to shore, and first aid procedures. Those who meet the requirements will be granted a certificate by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism , eligible to teach swimming or work as lifeguards at water amusement parks. These students will be key factors in helping localities continue to train and equip basic knowledge, safe swimming skills, and drowning prevention for grassroots cadres in their localities.

Experienced lecturers from Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports specifically instruct drowning rescue techniques for students in the class.

Organizing training courses in Mong Cai and Hai Ha, two coastal localities with many summer sports and tourism activities, is an important preparation step to increase human resources for rescue work at swimming pools, beaches, tourist attractions and water sports and recreational activities, contributing to ensuring the safety of people and tourists when coming to Quang Ninh. This is also part of the program to popularize safe swimming and prevent child drowning that is being widely implemented by Quang Ninh province.
