Sports Ministry eyeing over 5,000 participants for phase two of Klas Renang

Klas Renang received an encouraging response in the first phase from children of the B40 families

5:52 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR — The Youth and Sports Ministry aims to attract 5,760 children aged between six and 12 to join phase two of the Basic Sports Training Skills: Swimming (Klas Renang) programme from this month until December.

Following the encouraging response to the first phase, the ministry said that the programme, which is open specifically to children from B40 families and managed by the National Youth and Sports Department (JBSN), will be expanded to 36 more locations nationwide.

“Phase One of the Klas Renang programme, which was launched in May, received a positive reaction whereby 739 participants, comprising children aged six to 12, completed learning and training with an average of 90% mastery of basic swimming skills, especially in water confidence and various swimming techniques,” the Sports Ministry said in a statement today.

It added that pre-registration for phase two of Klas Renang has been open since August 16 and parents or guardians of successful candidates will be contacted by the JBSN secretariat for further coordination.

The ministry said that the programme, in maintaining strategic cooperation with Allianz Malaysia Berhad and Nestle Products Sdn Bhd, has added new strategic partners in Decathlon (M) Sdn Bhd and Pos Malaysia Berhad.

Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh officiated the launch of phase two of Klas Renang at the Aquatics Excellence Centre, Sarawak State Youth and Sports Complex in Kuching today.

The main objective of this initiative is to reduce the death rate due to drowning through exposure to basic swimming techniques for children in B40 families. — September 16, 2023
