Build mobile swimming pools and organize free swimming lessons for students

On the morning of June 15, the mobile swimming pool at Thanh Khe Secondary School was put into use, opening the first swimming lesson.

After a short period of campaigning and calling for donations, with the cooperation of local departments, branches, organizations, groups, individuals, philanthropists, etc., the project to build a mobile swimming pool for Thanh Khe Secondary School and Thanh Khe Commune Youth Union was implemented.

Mobile swimming pool in Thanh Khe Secondary School yard

The mobile swimming pool is designed to be 7m long, 5m wide, 1m high, with a removable iron frame on the outside and thick layers of canvas on the inside. The water level in the pool is maintained at a height of 0.6 - 0.8m. The construction cost is over 20 million VND. The pool is located in the yard of Thanh Khe Secondary School, which has a large space, a corrugated iron roof to protect from the sun and rain, and has 2 wells to regularly supply water to the pool.

At the opening ceremony, many local primary and secondary school students came to learn swimming. The school and local youth assigned 4 volunteers who are teachers and youth union members with a lot of swimming experience to take turns teaching swimming to the children.

All students who come to learn swimming here are completely free and are taught swimming systematically, scientifically, with close supervision and monitoring. The swimming pool schedule is in the afternoon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of the week.

Here, students are taught to swim and learn to swim completely free of charge.

This is the first model of mobile swimming pool and free swimming lessons in a public school in Thanh Chuong.

Hopefully this activity will help local students learn to swim more, thereby reducing drowning accidents.
