Description
Step into the shoes of a first-aider and
a lifeguard for a day
The Junior Lifeguard Tour 2026, a completely free awareness-raising initiative that will take place throughout the summer on several beaches in Charente-Maritime.
The aim of this tour is to raise awareness amongst children, young people and their families of the risks associated with the aquatic and coastal environment, through fun and educational workshops focusing in particular on:
• water safety;
• understanding beach flags and signage;
• alerting the authorities and first aid;
• drowning prevention;
• protecting the coastal environment;
• responsible behaviour at the seaside.
Led by volunteers from the fields of first aid, water rescue, healthcare and education, this initiative is fully in line with an approach aimed at prevention and the promotion of safety amongst the general public.
The tour is scheduled to launch on 22 July 2026 in Rivedoux-Plage, before continuing to various locations along the Charente coast.
