In addition to teaching skills to children, training adults in drowning rescue skills is also very important.

Preventing drowning for children is one of the top priorities to ensure the right to survival and safety of children's lives. Especially during the summer vacation, many children go swimming in the sea, lakes, and even in swimming pools. To prevent drowning, teaching children to swim is a necessary foundation, but if only teaching them to swim is probably not enough.

In fact, there are many cases where children who know how to swim still drown because when a situation occurs, the child panics and forgets all swimming skills. Simple survival skills will help children be confident and save themselves while waiting for rescue.

In addition to teaching skills to children, training adults in drowning rescue skills is also very important. Running upside down is one of the most common mistakes when giving first aid to drowning children.
