1. Causes of Drowning:
- Drowning tends to occur more with older children due to their active and curious nature, while younger children may experience it due to their water-playful tendencies or family negligence. Whether children know how to swim or not, their subjective attitude may prevent them from fully understanding the danger of accidents.
- Additionally, the surrounding living environment always harbors potential risks for drowning accidents in children, such as uncovered water basins, wells, pools, and dangerous water bodies like rivers, lakes, and ponds without proper fencing and warning signs. Moreover, construction activities, excavation for sand and stone, unconscious human activities, have created hazardous pits like lime mining holes, holes from soil excavation for bricks, and holes from water irrigation for flowers without proper fencing.
- Drowning accidents can occur in various scenarios: inhaling water, individuals who cannot swim falling into water, or children accidentally plunging their heads into water basins or bathtubs. Sudden fainting upon water contact, deep diving without coming up in time leading to suffocation, swimming to exhaustion, body heat loss due to cold water, experiencing cramps and then fainting, are all potential situations for drowning accidents.
2. Drowning Prevention Measures:
- Stay away from dangerous water areas: Avoid going for a swim in ponds, lakes, rivers, etc., especially if you don't know how to swim. Do not walk or play near places such as ponds, lakes, rivers, water basins, drainage ditches, well openings... without proper covers. Hazardous pits like lime mining holes, holes from soil excavation for bricks, holes from water irrigation for flowers, etc., should be kept at a distance.
- Children bathing in the sea or river should wear life jackets and be supervised by parents or adults.
3. Dealing with Drowning Accidents: If timely first aid is provided, the student involved in the aforementioned drowning accident may or may not suffer fatalities. So, what should each of us do when encountering a drowning accident?
- Upon discovering someone has fallen into the water, shout for help and call on others to assist immediately upon seeing the victim. Never jump in to rescue the victim if you don't know how to swim and perform a water rescue, as you might end up drowning yourself.
- Swiftly bring the victim out of the water using methods such as extending your arm, a long pole for the victim to grasp, throwing a buoy with a tied rope... and safely pulling the victim to the shore. You can throw a strong, secure rope from the shore for the victim to grab and pull them in, or collectively help lift the victim...
- Place the victim in a well-ventilated area.
- If the victim is unconscious, check for breathing by observing chest movement:
+ If the chest remains motionless, indicating the victim has stopped breathing, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Then check the neck pulse, groin pulse to see if there is any; if no pulse is detected, the victim has a stopped heart, and you must perform chest compressions below the chest bone. Coordinate chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth continuously while transporting the victim to a medical facility.
+ If the victim is still breathing, place them on one side to facilitate vomiting.
- Remove wet clothing, keep warm by placing a dry cloth over the victim.
- Quickly transport the victim to a medical facility even if they seem normal or have fully recovered after first aid because the risk of secondary breathing difficulties can occur several hours after water inhalation...
Hopefully, through the school's propaganda and reminders, you will gain the necessary understanding. Continue to spread awareness extensively to family and those around you to prevent any regrettable incidents related to water drowning accidents. Especially in the summer, yearly swimming skill training will be conducted by the school's physical education teachers as well as guidance from senior students. Make sure to participate fully!

Sample propaganda on preventing drowning incidents 3
During holidays, festivals, especially in the summer vacation, many families, organizations, and schools will organize trips for students to cool off and swim at the beach. Everywhere, children will also spontaneously gather to swim in rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, so the risk of drowning is very high. Every summer, concerns about drowning are always present and can occur anywhere. Recently, various media outlets have reported numerous heartbreaking cases of children drowning due to the negligence of adults.
Drowning doesn't just happen in rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, but can also occur right at home, workplaces, schools, nurseries, etc. Therefore, parents, teachers, and everyone need to have knowledge of drowning prevention and the skills to handle drowning accidents.
1. Why does drowning often lead to death?
Drowning is the condition where water enters the respiratory tract, causing organs to lack oxygen and vital body functions to cease. In other words, drowning is a state of oxygen deprivation due to the body being submerged in water.
- Statistics show that about 4/5 of drowning cases have water in the lungs, while the remaining 1/5 drown without water in the lungs.
- The occurrence of dry drowning, where there is no water in the lungs, is due to non-swimmers suddenly submerging in water. The victim's panic disrupts reflexes, causing the body to sink, and muscle reflexes close the vocal cords and seal the airway, preventing the victim from breathing and leading to brain oxygen deficiency and unconsciousness. Since the vocal cords are closed, water cannot enter the lungs, which is also known as dry drowning.
Therefore, when encountering a drowning case, it is essential to handle it urgently and persistently on the spot to free the airway.
2. Causes of Drowning
- Lack of awareness and knowledge about dangers, risk factors, and drowning prevention skills in adults and children. Special attention should be given to skills such as childcare, swimming instruction, and rescue.
- Environmental factors contributing to risks include:
+ Rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, etc., without warning signs or fences.
+ Frequent occurrences of heavy rain and floods.
+ Places with rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds where children either do not know how to swim or, even if they do, tend to be careless and underestimate the danger.
3. Preventing Drowning Incidents.
To prevent drowning incidents, we need to pay attention to the following:
- Avoid swimming or playing in rivers and streams without the supervision of an adult who knows how to swim.
- Swimming without parental permission is not allowed.
- Avoid playing or fooling around near ponds, lakes, and deep holes to prevent falling or slipping into them.
- It's advisable to have an adult accompany children to school during the rainy season, especially when crossing streams, rivers, overflowing dams, etc.
* Safety principles for swimming:
+ Avoid diving headfirst in unmarked areas.
+ Do not swim in deep, fast-flowing, or swirling waters without the supervision of an adult who can swim and perform rescues.
+ Refrain from swimming when it's dark, during thunderstorms, or in the rain.
+ Strictly adhere to warning signs.
+ Initiate warm-up exercises before entering the water.
+ Avoid eating while swimming to prevent choking on water.
+ Do not use inflatable devices.
+ Take waterway traffic safety seriously, including ensuring vehicle safety, having sufficient lifebuoys and life jackets, and carrying the correct number of passengers.
The above are things we should know about preventing drowning accidents. I hope teachers and students will pay more attention to this issue to avoid unfortunate incidents for themselves and their family members.
Sample propaganda article on preventing drowning accidents 4
In accordance with Official Letter No. 595/PGD ĐT - NGLL dated April 26, 2018, on enhancing drowning accident prevention for students in the summer of 2018 and registering guidebooks for drowning prevention for primary school students. Schools assign specialized teams to research and coordinate the implementation of teaching for students. Focus on instructing students in skills to prevent drowning through situational exercises; organize experiential activities for students to handle various situations through team games. Choose appropriate teaching methods and forms to prevent and limit drowning incidents in students during the summer of 2018.
1. Why does drowning often lead to death?
Drowning is a condition where water enters the respiratory tract, causing organs to lack oxygen and the vital functions of the body to cease. In other words, drowning is a state of oxygen deficiency due to the body being submerged in water.
- Statistics show that about 4/5 cases of drowning result in water in the lungs, and the remaining 1/5 drown without water in the lungs.
- The reason for drowning without water in the lungs is when a person who doesn't know how to swim suddenly submerges in water. The victim, in panic, disrupts reflexes, causing the body to sink. Reflex muscle contractions close the laryngeal inlet and seal the airway, making the victim unable to breathe, leading to brain oxygen deficiency and unconsciousness. Since the laryngeal inlet is closed, water cannot enter the lungs. This is also known as dry drowning.
Therefore, when encountering a drowning situation, urgent and persistent intervention is necessary right on the spot to release the airway.
2. Causes of drowning.
- Lack of awareness and knowledge about the dangers and risk factors, and the lack of skills in drowning prevention among adults and children. Special attention is needed for skills such as child supervision, swimming instruction, and rescue techniques.
- Environmental factors contributing to the risk include:
+ Lack of danger signs and barriers in rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, etc.
+ Frequent occurrences of heavy rain and floods.
+ Places with rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds where children either don't know how to swim or, even if they do, are complacent and unaware of the potential danger.
3. Drowning Emergency Response
To enhance your understanding of first aid skills for drowning incidents and minimize risks when encountering drowning cases, we present you with the following first aid skills:
*Drowning First Aid Measures
Perform immediate underwater first aid:
Grasp the neck or hair and lift the victim's head above the water. Administer a few strong slaps to the victim's face to induce awakening and encourage breathing.
Swiftly loop the arm under the armpit, lift the neck (using a backstroke position) or call for additional assistance to bring the victim ashore.
Once the victim is on shore or on a boat, perform artificial respiration immediately. Open the airway by placing the victim in a sideways position with the neck tilted to one side. Use a cloth or towel to clear mucus, foreign objects from the airway, and cover the victim's mouth with a scented cloth or gauze. Seal the victim's nose with two fingers and blow air directly into their mouth.
If there is no pulse (absence of a palpable pulse), external heart compression is necessary. Place both hands on top of each other and compress the chest outside the heart at a rate of about 100 compressions per minute. If there is only one rescuer, perform 2-3 breaths followed by external heart compression for 10-15 cycles. If there are two rescuers, one performs artificial respiration, and the other performs external heart compression, persisting until the heart resumes beating and breathing is restored.
When the victim regains consciousness, they may vomit water. Place the victim in a safe position, prop a pillow under both shoulders, loosen clothing, preventing the victim from choking again due to vomit. Only give up if artificial respiration and external heart compression have been performed for 2 hours without the victim recovering.
Immediate first aid is crucial, determining the victim's survival. If not treated promptly, the victim may suffer from brain oxygen deficiency, making it challenging to save them later.
When encountering a drowning child, it's common to carry the child upside down on the shoulders. The upside-down motion only helps clear the throat and mouth area. It should not be performed on adults and should not last more than 1 minute for children. If first aid is successful, and the victim breathes again or exhibits convulsions, or the victim is still unconscious but has a pulse and breathing, call for an ambulance or use any available means to transfer the victim to a medical facility equipped with emergency resuscitation. The transportation process must continue first aid, and keep the victim warm.
Hospital treatment involves preventing respiratory failure, combating hypothermia, narrowing the airways, irregular heart rhythm, and low blood pressure. Fluid replacement and electrolyte balance adjustment are necessary. Be vigilant for acute pulmonary edema; acute respiratory failure progression, requiring immediate chest X-ray, and ongoing monitoring of respiratory and circulatory conditions.
4. Prevention of Drowning Accidents
- To prevent drowning accidents, we need to pay attention to the following:
- Avoid swimming or bathing in rivers or streams without an accompanying adult who knows how to swim.
- Do not swim without parental permission.
- Avoid playing or fooling around ponds, lakes, or deep pits to prevent falling or slipping into holes.
- It's advisable to have an adult accompany children to school during the rainy season, especially when crossing streams, rivers, or overflowing dams.
* Safety principles for swimming:
+ Avoid diving headfirst where there are no signs.
+ Refrain from swimming in deep, fast-flowing, or swirling waters without the presence of an adult who can swim and provide rescue assistance.
+ Avoid swimming when it's dark, during thunderstorms, or in the rain.
+ Strictly adhere to danger signs.
+ Ensure proper warm-up before entering the water.
+ Refrain from eating while swimming to prevent water aspiration.
+ Avoid using inflatable floats.
+ Take waterway safety seriously, including proper vehicle safety measures, having sufficient life jackets, and transporting the correct number of passengers.
+ Urban children should be equipped with swimming skills, essential drowning prevention techniques, and methods to rescue those in water emergencies.
+ For people in flood-prone areas, follow local government evacuation guidelines before floods occur. Older adults and children must be supervised by adults. Avoid swimming into the floodwater stream without authorization, as it may lead to being carried away by the current.
If children travel to school by boat, the boat must have lifebuoys or be accompanied by an adult. Students should be taught swimming and basic first aid techniques to save themselves and others in drowning incidents. Water tanks, drains, wells, etc., must have secure covers.
Children bathing in the sea or river should wear life jackets and be supervised by parents or adults. Establish rescue teams and necessary equipment for emergencies in accident-prone areas. Install danger signs at beaches and riverbanks.
When traveling in river areas, parents should prepare lifebuoys to anticipate the worst-case scenarios.

Summer has arrived, and with the hot weather, rivers, streams, lakes, and seas become ideal places for students to swim and dive. Unfortunately, many tragic drowning accidents occur in these settings, and the mortality rate due to drowning remains high in areas with numerous rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. Drowning is a sudden accident with unclear and unpredictable causes, causing physical injuries and can happen anytime, anywhere, especially in the student age group. Due to their active, curious, and playful nature, lacking knowledge and prevention skills, students are prone to drowning accidents. Therefore, they need to be aware of the following information:
1. Drowning is referred to as death caused by respiratory failure in water, which can result from inhaling water into the lungs or constriction of the respiratory tract due to water causing suffocation.
So, what should we do to prevent drowning accidents?
Stay away from deep river bends, whirlpools, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and water puddles. Especially, in our local areas, there are many deep ponds and lakes. You should not encourage each other to swim in ponds, lakes, rivers, springs, etc., without knowing how to swim and without adults and floatation devices nearby.
2. Causes of Drowning
- Lack of awareness and knowledge about the dangers of drowning in adults and children, including risk factors and preventive skills. Special attention is needed for skills like babysitting, teaching swimming, and rescue techniques.
- Environmental risk factors include:
+ Rivers, lakes, streams, ponds... without warning signs or barriers.
+ Heavy rain and frequent flooding occur.
+ In places with rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds, children who don't know how to swim or are overconfident face dangers.
3. Handling a Drowning Incident:
- When witnessing someone fall into the water, immediately shout for help and call on others to assist. Never jump in to rescue if you cannot swim or don't know proper rescue techniques, as you may also risk drowning.
- Quickly bring the victim out of the water by extending your arm, using a long pole for the victim to grasp, throwing a buoy with a tied rope... and pulling the victim to the shore safely. You can throw a sturdy rope from the shore for the victim to grab and pull them in, or collectively lift the victim...
- Place the victim in a well-ventilated area.
- If the victim is unconscious, check for breathing by observing chest movement:
+ If the chest doesn't move, indicating the victim has stopped breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Then check the neck pulse and groin pulse to see if there is a heartbeat; if no pulse is felt, the victim's heart has stopped, and external chest compression should be applied below the sternum. Coordinate chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth continuously while transporting the victim to a medical facility.
+ If the victim is still breathing, position them on their side to allow vomit to exit easily.
- Remove wet clothing, keep warm by placing a dry towel on the victim.
- Quickly take the victim to a medical facility even if they seem normal or have fully recovered after first aid because the risk of breathing difficulties can still occur several hours after drowning.
4. To prevent drowning accidents in young children, parents, teachers, everyone, and students need to pay attention to the following tasks:
4.1. For older children and adults:
- Avoid jumping into water without knowing whether it's shallow or deep, and if there are escape routes in case of danger.
- When swimming, go with experienced swimmers and carry a floatation device when swimming or boating.
- Avoid overeating and abstain from alcohol before getting into the water.
- Only swim in pools that ensure safety and are supervised by lifeguards.
4.2. For young children:
- Children swimming should be regularly supervised by adults and should not be left unattended for activities like reading, chatting, etc.
- At home with young children, it's best not to leave containers of water around. If it's necessary to have them (such as storing drinking water), make sure to tightly seal them so that children cannot open the lids.
- Well-off houses with swimming pools should have a fully enclosed fence and a door with a lock to prevent children from opening it. Install an alarm system that alerts when children enter.
- It's advisable to have children start swimming early (above 4 years old).
4.3. The Child Protection and Care Department (Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs) also provides 8 recommendations for parents and caregivers to prevent drowning for their children, as follows:
- Avoid swimming in rivers or streams without an accompanying adult who knows how to swim.
- Avoid playing or frolicking around ponds, water bodies, deep holes, or lime pits to prevent falls and accidents.
- Houses near water bodies and ponds should have barriers and fences around them.
- Encourage parents to fill up holes and water channels after use.
- Remind parents to securely cover wells, water tanks, and pits for safety.
- Ensure that adults accompany children to school during the rainy season, especially when crossing streams and rivers.
- Encourage adults to teach swimming to children.
The content above is a propaganda message about preventing drowning from Tan Binh Primary School. Through this content, we sincerely hope that teachers and students will effectively implement drowning prevention measures, avoiding unfortunate risks for themselves and their family members. At the same time, let's spread awareness in the community to collectively prevent drowning, one of the common accidents during the summer.

Vietnam, with its extensive coastline, numerous lakes, rivers, and canals, mainly concentrated in the Red River Delta and Mekong Delta regions, has over 2,300 rivers and canals with a length of about 198,000 km (density of 0.6 km/km) and nearly 3,300 km of coastline. With these characteristics, in recent years, the inland waterway and lake transport system of our country has facilitated water transport, providing aquatic products for domestic needs, and earning foreign currency through exports.
However, due to many rivers and lakes, there have been numerous heartbreaking incidents of water transport accidents and drownings in recent years, causing many deaths and significant property damage, especially among school-age students. Summer vacation is always eagerly awaited by students, as it is a time to temporarily set aside academic pursuits and enjoy various outdoor activities, explore nature, and gain real-life experiences through excursions after a year of academic efforts.
Yet, sometimes, due to excessive enthusiasm for fun or a lack of knowledge about drowning, unfortunate accidents occur. So, what is drowning? According to the World Health Organization, drowning is a phenomenon where the airway of adults or children is invaded by a liquid, usually water, leading to difficulty breathing. The consequences of prolonged breath-holding can be fatal (drowning) or non-fatal but cause severe damage to the nervous system. In addition, drowning is also considered as a condition of oxygen deficiency due to the body being submerged in water.
To minimize drowning incidents among students, we need to focus on implementing the following measures effectively:
1. Advise students, especially young ones, to avoid playing near ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams, where the risk of drowning is high.
2. Swim only in places with lifeguards and rescue equipment, adhere to the rules of swimming pools and designated swimming areas.
3. When swimming in the sea or river, regardless of swimming ability, stay close to the shore, especially in the sea where continuous waves make swimming challenging. Many people often lie on floats when swimming in the sea, which is quite dangerous. You might be carried far without realizing it, and the strong waves can be overwhelming, leading to water ingestion and fatigue.
4. Strictly follow safety regulations when participating in water transport, such as wearing life jackets.
When spotting someone falling into the water, immediately shout for help and call others for assistance. Quickly find any object that can be used for indirect rescue, such as poles, buoys, clothes, belts, etc. Instruct drowning individuals to hold onto these objects for someone on the shore to pull them in. Do not jump in to rescue if you can't swim or don't know how to perform a water rescue, as you might end up drowning yourself. After bringing the person to the shore, check the airway. If there are foreign objects in the mouth or nose, remove them immediately. Tilt the victim's body to allow fluid to drain from the airway. If the victim stops breathing, perform CPR by covering their nose, taking a deep breath, closing their mouth, and blowing a long breath, repeating this process twice more. Then proceed with chest compressions by placing both hands together, positioning them 1/3 below the breastbone toward the left chest, and compressing continuously about 30 times. Repeat this cycle of two breaths and 30 chest compressions until medical personnel arrive or the victim is taken to a medical facility.
In the water drowning prevention campaign, you should present the causes and prevention of drowning accidents as well as scenarios for avoiding drowning incidents to persuade the audience. This helps people understand the reasons and effectively prevent accidents.
Not only drowning accidents but also traffic accidents are a challenging issue nowadays, as the number of traffic accidents continues to rise. Therefore, it's essential to emphasize the importance of following traffic rules, such as stopping at red lights safely, wearing helmets correctly, not operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol, and more.
