Every year, during the summer, drowning accidents among children occur frequently, claiming many lives. This situation leaves behind pain and loss for families and society.

To contribute to limiting this situation, every year, the Nghe An Provincial Civil Servants' Union organizes the signing of a union member welfare program with the Provincial Labor Culture House to open swimming classes at the Provincial Labor Culture House swimming pool for children of union members of affiliated grassroots unions.

Speaking at the opening of the class, Mr. Nguyen Cong Danh - Chairman of the Nghe An Provincial Civil Servants' Union hoped that the class would equip the children with knowledge and skills on drowning prevention, swimming skills, first aid, etc. At the same time, help the children have a fun, safe and meaningful summer.

Unlike previous years, this year, swimming classes are completely free and the number of union members of the grassroots unions under the Civil Servants' Union has registered is very large. Nearly 600 children participating are divided into 3 classes, organized in 3 months. The first session will be held in June with 198 children, including 15 sessions, each session is 90 minutes. Normally, each such course costs 1.5 million VND/child.

For this purpose, Nghe An Provincial Labor Culture House has coordinated with trade union units to organize many art and sports courses for children of union members, workers, civil servants and laborers. For swimming classes, the unit has invested, renovated, upgraded facilities, arranged coaches, support staff and other conditions to ensure safe and effective courses.

Accordingly, each swimming lesson will take 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 to warm up and do personal hygiene before entering the pool. The goal of the course is that 100% of students will know how to swim after completing the course. At the end of the swimming class, the Organizing Committee will have a certificate and a reward for the children who participate in serious study and swim proficiently.

Right after the opening ceremony, under the guidance of the coaches, the children immediately learned basic knowledge about accident prevention.drowning, water safety skills and safe rescue methods./.
