Haikou City Education Bureau said that during the two-month summer vacation, more than 30,000 primary and secondary school students in Haikou City had received swimming training, of which 19620 had completed the training and 3,627 primary school students had passed the swimming examination.
Hainan Province "arranges" summer homework for primary and secondary school students' swimming education in order to accelerate the systematic education project of "learning to swim, preventing drowning and knowing how to save lives" and encourage primary and secondary schools to make better use of their spare time to consolidate and strengthen swimming education for primary and secondary school students.
A few days ago, at Baishamen Primary School in Haikou City, children who were about to enter the fifth grade were training in the scaffolding swimming pool built on campus. The swimming pool is 25m long, 15m wide and about 1. 1m deep, and can accommodate 80 students at the same time. In order to ensure the quality of teaching and the safety of students, the swimming class is equipped with social sports instructors, fixed lifeguards and mobile lifeguards.
According to Mr. Wang, who is in charge of swimming training in the school, the school divides the summer swimming training course into two periods, each period is 10 day, and four periods are offered every day. Two classes start at the same time, and you can teach eight classes at the same time every day.
Wang said that after two training sessions, a small number of sixth-grade students in grades three, four and five have completed this special summer homework. They will dismantle the scaffolding swimming pool before school starts and continue to build it next summer.
After two swimming training courses, more than 800 students in Baishamen Primary School have mastered swimming skills. Ms. Wang, the parents of the students, said that swimming is a basic survival skill, so it is necessary to learn. Parents like their children to learn to swim. "The child has passed the training, from the' landlubber' to the initial mastery of swimming skills, and will urge her to practice more and master this skill in the future."
Like Baishamen Primary School, due to the limited space, there are other schools that set up scaffolding swimming pools on campus for students to learn, such as Haikou Feng Long Experimental Primary School and Baiju School.
Que Ping, vice president of Haikou Feng Long Experimental Primary School, said that the summer swimming training class of the school is only for students in grades four and five. Teaching in grades, classes, batches and time periods. Students will be assessed at any time after 10 days. If the assessment fails, intensive training and make-up exams will be conducted. After 10 days of study, students are required to learn several self-help behaviors such as holding their breath, diving, standing in the water and breathing. And can swim 25-50 meters independently. At the same time, she also said that all the expenses of swimming classes are subsidized by the government and students can participate freely.
For primary school students, learning to swim may benefit them for life. Wu Yuyu, a student of the school, told reporters that he never thought that his primary school could still have a swimming pool. He said that after studying swimming for more than ten days, he passed the exam at once and felt very happy.
It is reported that there are three main ways to implement summer swimming training in Haikou primary and secondary schools: one is to build scaffolding swimming pools on campus, the other is to cooperate with off-campus training institutions, and the third is for parents to bring their children to study.
Lin Xiong, chief of basic education department in Meilan District, Haikou City, said that at present, all primary and secondary schools in Meilan District have carried out summer swimming training. There is no hard assessment standard for primary school students' summer swimming homework, which does not affect school registration. All schools are required to carry out swimming summer homework, train swimming for free, and parents who have the conditions are encouraged to lead their children to swim by themselves. However, swimming homework is not linked to any situation of starting school or entering a higher school.
Weng Pingrong, director of the Sports Department of Haikou Education Bureau, said that schools in Haikou will strengthen safety management, refine organizational procedures and strictly follow the standard that "students can swim 25 meters independently without assistance". Students who pass the standard test and pass the examination shall be issued with swimming certificates in time. The examination must be signed (sealed) by the school, training institution, students or parents before the certificate can be issued.
