Hua Hin Municipality has held a training seminar aimed preventing incidents of drowning among children.

 

Hua Hin Mayor Nopporn Wutthikul formally opened the Child Drowning Prevention Project, which gave training to more than 50 people on what to do in the event a child gets into difficulty while in water.

 

The seminar, which was organised by by Mr. Theeraphan Jadpol, the General Director of the Department of Public Health and Environment in Hua Hin Municipality was attended by beach operators, sea protection volunteers club, municipal officials, teachers, and staff of the Takiab Child Development Center, and a group of local parents.

 

The seminar included training from members of the Sawang Hua Hin Foundation and officers from the Royal Thai Army Sergeant School who gave lectures and demonstrations on water safety.

Teach kids how to swim that will be more effective than what to do if a kid is drowning or get is in difficulty when in the water

Agreed, but no harm in teaching public responders what to do in the first critical seconds of a rescue.

Before trained rescue services arrive.

Even for strong swimmers (I am one - my whole life, they started teaching me at school when I was 5, they had various stages of performance certificates they whipped us through) swimming in the sea even close to shore is a different kettle of fish to a pool. Further out on the ocean it's a different universe.

This is a great initiative focussed on those most likely to be around when something goes wrong. High fives for authorities getting something right.

But there's no substitute for teaching kids to swim, and then pushing them for a bit of achievement. It helps make them viscerally aware of the dangers as well.
