KOTA KINABALU: As the mother of a competitive swimmer, it is ironic that 69-year-old Janet Tye never learnt how to swim.Her son Jackson Hong, now aged 42, used to represent Sabah in swimming competitions nationwide.

Thanks to the Sports Basic Skills Training Programme for Swimming initiative by the Youth and Sports Ministry, Tye and 13 of her friends signed up for swimming lessons at the Penampang Sports Complex pool here.Thanking all the professional coaches, she said that her new skills would come in handy, especially during emergencies like floods.

The programme was later expanded to senior citizens from ages 60 to 75 and people with disabilities from ages six to 15, later that year."This year, we are expanding it to 222 locations across the country and targeting 7,680 participants for the B40 children category, and 600 each for the senior citizens and OKU categories, bringing the total to 8,800," said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.
