Less than a week many young Cambodians died from drowning
Re: Less than a week many young Cambodians died from drownin
so sad. we really need to have swimming training program at school. However, i don't think we can do it in near future since some schools still don't have enough buildings and equipment. What a poor country and poor people.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Samouth. The way it works - at least where I know - is that the govt or the local authority pay for the land, the buildings and the swimming pool. Then sometimes it is run privately, sometimes by the local authorities, and they pay the running costs, the maintenance, the salaries.Samouth wrote:so sad. we really need to have swimming training program at school.

All the schools are allowed use of the swimming pool at certain times to teach kids to swim and be safe in the water - this is usually free or very cheap. The schools organize buses to take each class once a week or once a month or whatever. When the school are not using the pool they get people to pay to swim there, sometimes they have some shops to make even more money.
It is too expensive for every school to have a swimming pool, but there can be one pool in every town for sharing between the schools and paying customers.
I know that Cambodia is a poor country, but I don't think that a swimming pool costs more than a Lexus, so if just one fat-cat in every town sold just one of his Lexus...well, you get the idea.

This is such a good idea. However the thing is that it is really hard when it comes to implementation. The biggest problem is that many adult Cambodians didn't realise or know about the benefit if knowing how to swimming. i guess it is really tricky for them to pay money for their kid's swimming lessons, especially people in the province. Many people would find it useless and reluctant to pay for it. Many of them would suggest their kids to go to the river or pond to learn how to swim.Anchor Moy wrote:Samouth.

I think almost all the provinces in Cambodia have provincial stadium and i am not use if every stadium has swimming pool. However, if it does has, it is still there is no one there to teach them.
Taking about rich people in Cambodia. They are so selfish. Most of them don't have the culture of sharing.

Re: Less than a week many young Cambodians died from drownin
Everyone have good ideas. My Vietnamese friend told me that in Vietnam every kids has to take swimming course. But in my poor country , poor destiny for poor people. It's very expensive for poor people to spend 5$ just for entering swimming pool one time. Don't you think it often happen in poor families and in rural area?
In public schools we don't have swimming class and swimming pool, but private schools have it or bring their students to learn how to swim.
The problem is money. Who will support it? Government? NOG? Teachers or students' families?
The swimming pool is not too expensive ,but the land in the city is tooo expensive. In the provinces, land is not so expensive, but the problem is the coaches and the distance from schools to the swimming pool. Or one school one swimming pool or swim in the rivers or ponds?
I agree that everyone's ideas are very good. I hope govenrment will see the advantages of swimming class and apply it in National curriculum one day. And I do hope that parents will try their best to help their kids to swim.
