lessons for students. They also combine into extracurricular activities with
the contents of swimming safety tips, child drowning prevention. Secondly, they
can instruct the children to comply with safety regulations from home to school
and opposite, not allow children to play near ponds, lakes, rivers, streams,
canals, ditches or places where there is a risk of drowning, organize the
workshop about the model of "Universal Swimming in school" as well as
instruct how to rescue drowning cases, and organize swimming competitions for
