Water Safety for Children: The Mission of Burgas Municipality
For the second consecutive year, Burgas Municipality is making accident prevention a top priority through its Water Safety Training Program. The initiative, spearheaded by municipal councilor Vasil Zagorchev, aims to build sustainable habits in the youngest members of our community.
The safety of children is a responsibility that begins with education and a proper understanding of risks.
How did the training take place?
- Theoretical preparation: In April and May 2026, all third-graders in Burgas participated in interactive classroom lessons.
- Practice on the beach: From June 20 to August 10, kindergarten children applied what they learned through games and demonstrations on the seashore.
The program not only teaches children how to swim, but also how to recognize dangers, obey lifeguard flags, and seek help in a timely manner.
Why is this initiative important?
With over 2,300 children trained last year, Burgas Municipality continues to expand its reach, solidifying its position as a leader in the prevention of water accidents among the youth.
