An Cu commune opens 20 safe swimming classes for students.

On the morning of November 1st, the People's Committee of An Cu commune (An Giang province) held the opening ceremony for 20 swimming classes to prevent drowning in 2025 for 400 primary and secondary school students in the commune.

Students warm up their bodies before swimming.

Students practice their swimming skills.

In these classes, students are instructed in basic swimming skills according to current standards (swimming continuously for at least 25m), staying afloat for at least 90 seconds, and water safety skills; how to handle dangerous situations underwater... This contributes to preventing drowning accidents in the community, especially among children.

This activity is part of the project “Implementing effective and sustainable interventions to prevent and combat child drowning in An Giang province”, funded by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK) organization.
