Excited at the pool

Summer is here, many families let their children learn to swim to equip them with necessary skills. Meeting new friends and splashing around in the cool water makes children excited and love swimming more and more.

At the swimming class at Quy Nhon Stadium of the provincial swimming team coach Nguyen Dinh Nhat Nam, there are about 60 children from 8 to 15 years old studying, with basic skills such as: Breaststroke, treading water, floating, skills to handle situations when going into deep water...

Students in coach Nhat Nam's class are practicing seriously to have good health.

Seeing his daughter enthusiastically practicing in Mr. Nam's class, Mr. Le Thanh Tung, the parent of Le Quynh Nhu (born in 2011, in Thi Nai ward, Quy Nhon city) "revealed" that his daughter started learning to swim from the basic class last summer. However, because of her love for this sport, she has studied advanced until now. Because she understood the benefits of swimming, the parents searched for and registered their child to participate in swimming courses through the school and gifted classes. Mr. Ho Ngoc Cuong (lecturer of the Faculty of Physical Education - National Defense Education, Quy Nhon University) said that the classes he was responsible for alone had about 270 children attending, most of them aged 6-9.

Little student Luong Ngoc Khanh Ngan (born 2017, in Dong Da ward, Quy Nhon city) happily high-fived teacher Ho Ngoc Cuong after completing a test on standing in water.

For children, what attracts them to water sports is not only to learn how to swim but also for the fun. Enjoying playing and competing in swimming together, Vo Ke Khoa (born in 2014, in Ghenh Rang ward, Quy Nhon city) and his two cousins Le Nguyen Hoai Dan (born in 2013, in Nguyen Van Cu ward), Nguyen Thi Gia Nhi (born in 2014, in Nguyen Van Cu ward) were very excited.

Khoa said: “Swimming is suitable for summer weather, so we consider it both exercise and to avoid the heat. Besides, the three of us have time to play together and meet many new friends after school.”

Vo Ke Khoa and his cousins happily played after the "competition" of the three sisters.

That joy becomes even more meaningful for disadvantaged children when they can participate in free swimming classes. In the most recent class, which was coordinated by the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs with the City Youth Union and the Quy Nhon City Young Pioneers' Council at Au Co Primary School (in Bui Thi Xuan Ward, Quy Nhon City) from June 30 to present, 30 students in the ward have had 2 weeks of interesting experiences. Sharing after practice, Vo Thanh Binh (born in 2013, in Bui Thi Xuan Ward) said that he lost his father early and lives with his mother and sister. His mother is a garment worker, her income has decreased for more than half a year, so she has to work extra to raise her 2 children. In difficult conditions, her mother has to worry about enough food, studying is already difficult, let alone teaching Binh to swim.

Thanks to his experience teaching children to swim, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam (in Phuoc Hung commune, Tuy Phuoc district) taught his children to get used to water from an early age.

“I learned about this class through my teachers at school, so I signed up right away because I liked this subject before but didn’t dare ask my mother to let me take it. When I got to class, I tried my best. My greatest joy was when the teachers praised me for performing the movements with the right technique,” Binh happily said.
