Summer is at its peak, and it's almost
0:02
impossible to resist the temptation of a
0:05
refreshing swim. For children in
0:07
Vietnam's Mekong Delta, the rivers and
0:09
canals around the neighborhoods become
0:11
their familiar playgrounds every summer.
0:13
However, they also pose significant
0:15
safety risks, where just a moment of
0:18
carelessness can lead to tragic drowning
0:21
accidents. In Vinh Long province,
0:23
instead of only teaching children in
0:24
swimming pools, many swimming classes
0:27
are now held directly on local rivers,
0:29
allowing them to become familiar with
0:31
real-life water conditions while
0:33
learning essential survival skills.
0:38
>> There are no swimming pool walls, no
0:41
standard swimming lanes. The lessons
0:43
begin right on the river. The very place
0:46
that presents the greatest risk has
0:48
become the classroom, where children
0:50
learn not only how to swim, but also how
0:53
to respond to real-life emergencies in
0:55
the water.
0:56
>> Learning here gives us real experience
0:59
with river conditions. It helps us
1:01
become more confident in the water.
1:05
>> Right behind me, children are learning
1:07
basic swimming skills, and more
1:09
importantly, they are being taught how
1:12
to float and how to respond safely in
1:14
emergency situations.
1:17
>> If I see someone fall into the river, I
1:19
will call an adult for help or throw
1:21
them something they can hold on to.
1:24
>> A swimming pool has calm, still water,
1:26
but here on the river, boats pass by and
1:29
create waves. So, the children learn how
1:31
to react to real-life situations they
1:33
may actually encounter.
1:37
>> Vinh Long province has established 124
1:41
free swimming classes across nearly all
1:43
communes and wards, giving children
1:46
access to swimming lessons and drowning
1:48
prevention skills close to home. In An
1:50
Binh commune alone, four classes are
1:53
being held this summer, including one
1:55
conducted directly on the river,
1:58
allowing children to practice in natural
2:00
currents and real environmental
2:02
conditions.
2:05
>> Before every lesson, we carefully
2:07
inspect the practice area to ensure it's
2:09
safe.
2:11
Teachers closely monitor the children
2:13
throughout the class while additional
2:14
supervisors remain on shore to provide
2:17
immediate assistance if an emergency
2:19
occurs.
2:23
>> Along these familiar rivers, children
2:26
are learning much more than how to swim.
2:29
They are learning how to protect
2:30
themselves when faced with danger.
2:32
During the summer break, together with
2:34
the care and supervision of their
2:36
families, programs like these are
2:38
equipping children with life-saving
2:40
skills that can significantly reduce the
2:43
risk of drowning in the very environment
2:46
where they grow up every day.
