Unfortunately in Thailand most parents don't bother. So sad to see on Thai news so many children drowning. It's a national problem - like driving - and like the latter doesn't receive any government priority.

And keep an eye on them while swimming, and make sure they tell you if they are going for a swim. The mother said her daughter was not a strong swimmer, yet it was her friends who had to alert her.
