Ha Long Bay Management Board Trade Union organizes the 2025 Maritime Swimming and first aid tournament

The swimming competition is divided into 2 subjects: Leaders of units (no age groups) compete in two events: men's 50m freestyle swimming and women's 50m freestyle swimming.

For civil servants, the age groups are divided into 5 groups: Men aged 50 and over, swim 50m freely; Men aged 40 - 49, swim 50m freely; Men aged 30 - 39, swim 100m freely and Women not divided into age groups, swim 50m freely.

In the first aid at sea, each Trade Union of the department established a team of 4 athletes, competing in the following sections: treating drowning victims to board ships, transporting victims from ships to shore, performing artificial breathing using a hot air balloon - sealing the heart outside the chest, applying forceps and fixing the broken leg.

As a result, the first prize went to the Trade Union of the Conservation Center II; the second prize went to the Trade Union of the Inspection Team for Handling Violations in Ha Long Bay - Rescue Center; the third prize went to the Ha Long Bay Tourism Management Guidance Center; the Encouragement prize went to the Trade Union of the Conservation Center I.

In addition, the Organizing Committee also conducted swimming tests on 11 newly recruited or unused officials and workers to assess their swimming ability for professional tasks.

With the characteristics of the majority of civil servants and workers working in the island environment, regularly welcoming and serving tourists, annual swimming and first aid competitions at sea not only contribute to improving the sports movement, health training, creating a vibrant competitive atmosphere, but also equipping swimming and rescue skills, ensuring safety for workers and tourists visiting Ha Long Bay.
