As far as I know, the Zibo Municipal Education Bureau has recently released a reform plan on junior high school physical education curriculum, including making swimming a compulsory course. This reform aims at improving students' sports quality and health level, and cultivating students' swimming skills and water safety awareness. At the same time, swimming, as a systemic exercise, can exercise students' muscles, cardiopulmonary function and coordination ability, which is helpful to prevent and improve adolescents' obesity and myopia.

It is understood that Zibo Education Bureau has started to prepare swimming teaching facilities and personnel training to ensure the smooth implementation of the reform plan. In addition, the plan will also strengthen the teaching content and methods of physical education courses, improve students' interest and participation in physical education, and promote the realization of national fitness and all-round development education.
