Teaching swimming is not just the teacher's job.

In the mountainous region of Quang Tri, in recent years, teacher Van Kieu Ho Thi Dung (physical education teacher, A Tuc Primary and Secondary School, Huong Hoa District) has also volunteered to take ethnic minority students to "wild swimming pools" in mountainous rivers and lakes to teach swimming and anti-drowning skills.

Of course, in the efforts to "popularize swimming" for children, the presence of young volunteers is indispensable. Whether in the plains, midlands or mountains, enthusiastic young people will never refuse to become "reluctant teachers" of swimming. Where conditions permit, union members and young people use swimming pools; in difficult places like Vinh Ha commune (Vinh Linh district, Quang Tri), young people use bamboo sticks, reeds and plastic cans to form a rectangle (10 x 15 m) on the river to create... a swimming pool.

Unable to sit still in the face of heartbreaking news about drowning, dozens of officers and soldiers of Thanh Border Guard Station (Quang Tri Provincial Border Guard Command) boldly took hundreds of students in Xy Commune (Huong Hoa District) to the Se Pon River on the Vietnam - Laos border to teach swimming for free.

The image of officers and soldiers in green uniforms wading through the water to support children learning to swim in the river, and on the shore, the border medical team instructing on drowning prevention and first aid in case of an accident... although a bit "strange" but beautiful...

I just realized that teaching swimming is not just for teachers. Because the education sector does not have enough human resources to "take on" all of this work; not to mention the summer vacation, when children return to their families, teachers cannot manage it. Therefore, the participation of relevant functional sectors, even the whole society, in teaching swimming and preventing drowning really needs to be inspired and strongly encouraged.
