[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The West Sea Regional Coast Guard Agency (Chief Yoon Byung-doo) is organizing survival swimming training for preschool and elementary school teachers to protect children's lives and promote safety awareness, and is recruiting applicants for free courses until the 31st of this month.

According to the West Sea Regional Coast Guard Agency on the 18th, survival swimming can save most people, including adults and children, in drowning accidents. Especially for children, learning ability and effectiveness are faster, which is why this survival swimming training was prepared.

Accordingly, the West Sea Coast Guard decided to provide opportunities for attendance and training to preschool and elementary school teachers who teach survival swimming according to the Ministry of Education guidelines, targeting children who urgently need survival swimming education, as it can achieve a large educational effect with a small number of lessons.

Lessons for elementary school teachers are held every Saturday and will be conducted six times over two months in June and July. The course is free of charge, and those who complete it will receive a certificate of completion issued by the Chief of the West Sea Regional Coast Guard Agency. Recruitment for students is open until the 31st, and applications can be submitted to the Special Forces unit.

The lessons take place at the West Sea Coast Guard Special Forces swimming pool located in Bukhang, Mokpo City. The training is conducted by Special Forces members as instructors, divided into seven stages, including underwater breathing techniques, underwater movement training, drowning victim rescue methods, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Heo Hyun, head of the West Sea Coast Guard Special Forces who organized this training, said, “We are recruiting about ten trainees aiming for elite, personalized, one-on-one education,” and added, “If many teachers wish to participate, we will consider additional recruitment,” urging active participation.
