LOOK: Enchong Dee teaches indigent kids how to swim

Actor and swimmer Enchong Dee is paying it forward this summer by teaching kids swimming and basic water safety education.

He shared on Instagram photos of him and the 800 indigent kids he taught at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex yesterday, March 12.

“In my opinion, since the Philippines is an archipelago... every Filipino should have a basic water safety education,” Enchong said.

Enchong is a former member of the Philippine national swimming team. He represented the country at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar and at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games held at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.

In my opinion, since the Philippines is an archipelago... every Filipino should have a basic water safety education. Today, along side @bertlozadaswimschool we were able to teach swimming to 800 indigent kids. Thanks to all the coaches and sponsors. 🏊🏼‍♂️💙🇵🇭 #PayingItForward #Purpose #NoToDrowning
