Swimming For Safety 2014

Laguna Lng C has partnered with Hue Help to implement the program Swimming For Safety 2014. This
project provides first aid courses and swimming techniques to 1,200 secondary school students in 10 schools
within Phu Loc district, Thua Thien Hue province where Laguna Lng C is based.


Facts related to this initiative:
UNICEF and The Alliance For Safety state Vietnam is the one of countries with the highest rate of drowning
in the world, an average of 32 deaths every day.
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death for people between 5 and 24.
The Vietnamese government national programme on child injury prevention for 2013-2015 focuses on the
prevention of child drowning.
Thua Thien Hue Province has extensive flooding which poses significant safety risks for children in the province.
Phu Loc district within Hue province is home to South East Asias largest lagoon. Statistics by Thua Thien Hue
Red Cross show that 1,815 children were involved in water related accidents and fatalities in 2008 alone.


Swimming for Safety was initially launched by Hue Help, a UK registered, locally based charity. In 2011 they
collaborated with the UK Swimming Teachers Association (STA) to organize swim training courses for 30
teachers who then taught 1,200 school children in Phu Loc district how to swim. In 2014, Hue Help is continuing
this project which plans to provide swimming training for the next generation of secondary school students. The
number of total students in Phu Loc district is around 11,000.
Having aligned with theLaguna Lng C Triathlon 2014, Laguna Lng C was successful in fundraising $1,200
for 170 more students to join the swimming lessons this summer.
Laguna Lng C continues to encourage and call for donation by cash or equipment; just $7 provides swim
training for one child. Laguna Lng C also continues to hold several activities to improve awareness for guests
and associates.
In-house guests can get involved by:
- Joining swimming lessons that would be conducted in Banyan Tree swimming pool in the latter half of 2014
