By participating in the training course, students are equipped with knowledge and skills on drowning prevention, swimming skills, first aid, etc. At the same time, helping children have a fun, safe and meaningful summer.

Unlike previous years, this year, swimming classes are completely free. Each swimming class takes place in a separate, covered swimming pool, with 2 coaches and 2 staff from the Provincial Labor Culture House to support and guide the children in warming up and personal hygiene before entering the pool.

The first swimming and drowning prevention training course was a great success, with over 85% of the students (out of a total of 120 students) basically knowing how to swim and swimming well. At the end of the training course, the Organizing Committee conducted a swimming test for the students to issue certificates of completion of the program; organized a swimming competition and awarded prizes to students with high achievements./.
