According to reporters' records on the afternoon of June 16, many people from localities near Lam River such as Ben Thuy, Hung Dung, Hung Hoa... brought their children to a section of Lam River passing through Ben Thuy ward (about 1km east of Ben Thuy 1 bridge) to cool off.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue in Hung Dung ward said: "Today the weather is too hot, coinciding with the holiday, so the whole family went to Lam river to enjoy the breeze and cool off. This part of the river is not too deep, the water flows quite smoothly, so people have been bathing here for many years. To prevent drowning, I have prepared life jackets for my children."

According to observations, people coming to bathe in this area are of all ages, from the elderly, young people, children. Compared to previous years, people are more conscious of bringing life jackets, swimming buoys, and styrofoam boxes to ensure safety when going swimming.

However, the risk of drowning still exists, especially at high tide or when the riverbank rocks are quite slippery.

The ward has put up warning signs and broadcasted on loudspeakers along the dike about the risk of drowning, and assigned people to be on duty, reminding and encouraging people to bathe in safe places. However, the number of people coming to bathe every day is still very crowded.
