On Saturday, November 25th, there will also be solo events for children 5 to 17 years of age, all events are safety-related. Details of all events and requirements are available here, http://zambaleslifesaving.org/sports.html Unfortunately, it appears that most Asian countries receive little or no assistance from their Governments, be it National, Provincial or Local. For example, in the Philippines, with the implementation of Republic Act 9993 giving the control over lifeguards and lifeguard training to the Philippine Coast Guard, and PCG MC 03 - 14 giving authority to non-government organizations, such as Philippine Red Cross, Philippine Lifesaving Society and Zambales Lifesaving Inc., to train and certify lifeguards, thus supplementing the availability of professional and affordable lifeguard training. Despite these organizations having to invest in equipment and mandatory insurance, business permits, premises etc. and adhere to strict annual inspections, these organizations are actually being undermined by the Philippine Coast Guard by them offering free lifeguard training, or possibly better described as “Tax payer funded” lifeguard training, pressing to extinction the organizations that they encouraged to invest in the requirements to “assist” the very same Philippine Coast Guard. Unfortunately, it appears that most Asian countries receive little or no assistance from their Governments, be it National, Provincial or Local. Drowning is not a disease, virus, or medical condition, it is preventable, through the implementation of projects to make the public aware of the dangers and how to deal with them. Certainly, one very simple solution would be to make swimming lessons mandatory within the education sports curriculums at the earliest possible age. This is available from Zambales Lifesaving Inc. an online downloadable version of their Swimsafe program, which should be necessary for all parents and children.Link available here:https://www.yumpu.com/en/ document/view/63600741/swim-safe. 96
