Even so, of course they are supervised by an adults people, it doesn't mean that they swim there among themselves. They are under adult supervision.Good swimmers are not taught by anyone, they learn to swim by themselves there.
Just the names of the children so no time is wasted on the days they go to through, the days that the children are always playing and playing. All a children will be like that, no matter what country the children come from, they will surely spend their days with playing.
And of course depending on the country of each child, they will play according to the games in their country. But the swimming is there, in every country is there must be a people who can swim because swimming is included in one of the sports categories in the world.

Paloh Dayah’s children will be happy every time because in their village there is a swimming pool and they can swim there for a free. If they want to swim in that the pool they don't have to pay and can swim upto your heart's content.
They can swim all day a long, and when the school holidays come they must spend all day that swimming in the pool on Paloh Dayah village. No hot, no feeling of hunger, obviously because the children were having fun for swimming. Then the feeling of hunger and stifling has been denied from them selfves.
