The courses will focus on &#8220;clothed swimming,&#8221; teaching methods to float in water while wearing full clothing. Scheduled before summer vacation, when water-related accidents usually spike, the training will enable teachers to experience the heaviness of water-soaked clothing and learn techniques for floating until help arrives. The program will also incorporate trials with life jackets to promote their use among students. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yotemira.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2023092119028\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TNC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_clothing-swimming-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C790&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Teachers to Learn Clothed Swimming\" width=\"1400\" height=\"790\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_clothing-swimming-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_clothing-swimming-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_clothing-swimming-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C578&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_clothing-swimming-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
