Accordingly, the education and training facilities for children need to warn the learners not to play near ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, canals, ditches, and construction pits and not to swim at pools, lakes, rivers, streams, etc. without accompanying adults; to proactively coordinate with local authorities and organizations to encourage children to join useful activities; to hold swimming and water safety courses. Universities, academies, pedagogical universities, colleges and intermediate schools need provide their learners information and skills to ensure safety when participating in practical activities and picnics, and to avoid unsafe places for playing and swimming.
