FLASSA and Nageurs Citoyens conduct aquatic training programs

In August 2026, the FLASSA delegation participated in the Handisub national training stage in Antibes. The group included seven members, featuring new certified Special Needs Divers and several instructors undergoing advanced training for teaching divers with major and moderate disabilities. The event involved 72 participants, including 23 divers with specific needs and various instructors and trainers.

In France, the ‘Nageurs Citoyens’ prevention program concluded its summer season in the Vals de Saintonge region. Running from July 8 to August 27, the free initiative trained teenagers aged 13 to 17 in aquatic rescue and first aid. Supervised by the Nautic Club Angérien, participants completed technical swimming trials and earned PSC1 (first aid) certifications. The season ended with a graduation ceremony at the Atlantys aquatic center, recognizing 18 young graduates.
