60名肯塔基州四年级学生在缺乏室内游泳池导致溺水风险增加的情况下,学会了水安全。
60 Kentucky fourth graders learned water safety amid rising drowning risks due to lack of indoor pools.
随着夏季的临近,肯塔基州富兰克林县的60名四年级学生接受了YMCA和Swim的游泳安全培训,学会识别水紧急情况,不进入水中就作出反应。
As summer nears, 60 fourth graders in Franklin County, Kentucky, received swim safety training from the YMCA and Swim with a Purpose, learning to recognize water emergencies and respond without entering the water.
许多学生从未在游泳池中游过泳,或知道如何保持浮游。
Many students had never swum in a pool or knew how to stay afloat.
教官们强调使用漂浮物体或电线杆来寻求帮助,而不是跳跃,并强调要时刻保持警惕,让水附近的每个人都充当“水监督员 ” 。 该方案解决了由于缺乏室内游泳池而导致的高度溺水风险,因为北列克星顿青年会游泳池被拆除,肯塔基州立大学的游泳池需要修理。
Instructors emphasized using floating objects or poles for help, not jumping in, and stressed constant vigilance, with everyone near water acting as a “water watcher.” The program addresses high drowning risks due to the lack of an indoor pool, as the North Lexington YMCA pool was demolished and the one at Kentucky State University needs repair.
