The contest is part of a programme on drowning prevention
for children which will be held in 63 localities nationwide from May to August
2018.
According to Vice Director of the
Vietnam Sports and Physical Training Administration, Le Thi Hoang Yen, drowning
is the leading cause of death for children and adolescents in Vietnam,
especially during the summer and stormy season.
An initial report showed that the
percentage of Vietnamese children who are able to swim remains low at under
30%, she said, adding that it is vital and urgent to teach swimming and skills
for preventing drowning to children.
The programme is jointly
organised by the Vietnam Sports Administration under the Ministry of Culture,
Sport and Tourism, and the Ministry of Education and Training.
Major activities of the programme
include communications on mass media on safety in swimming, a national swimming
competition to be held in July in the central city of Da Nang, and a drowning
rescue contest in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap in August.
