Jungnang-gu Successfully Completes Survival Swimming Program for Students with Disabilities

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has successfully completed the ‘2024 Seoul Special City Survival Swimming for Students with Disabilities’ program.

This program was conducted as part of the Seoul Special City Disabled Sports Association’s operational projects, with venue support from the Jungnang-gu Facilities Management Corporation and organized by the Jungnang-gu Disabled Sports Association.

The survival swimming education, held twice since last July, was operated by accepting applications from students with disabilities in the local area. A total of 20 students with disabilities participated, receiving customized training starting with water adaptation exercises, followed by ▲floating without equipment ▲floating using devices ▲emergency escape techniques.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “Through this survival swimming program for students with disabilities, we were able to see children overcoming their fear of water and participating joyfully,” adding, “I hope this was an opportunity for students to prevent safety accidents that may occur during water activities and to develop the ability to protect themselves in emergencies.”
