The program is organized into three courses across three time frames, available for two groups of trainees.

The first swimming course, running from May 20 to June 19, is open to cadres, public officials, civil servants, and employees working in departments and public units under the municipal Department of Culture and Sports.

Registration for this course began on May 12 and will remain valid until training begins.

Classes will be held from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm every Tuesday and Thursday at the center, located at 1 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1.

The second and third courses are open to all permanent residents of Ho Chi Minh City aged 10 and above.

The second course will run from September 9 to October 14, with registration starting August 18.
