Since the beginning of this summer, over 800 children aged between 9 to 15 in the province’s Cao Lanh city have been taught swimming skills at the local sport centre. Most of them can swim well after the course.
About 7,000 children die from drowning each year in Vietnam , according to a UNICEF survey.
