This Tuesday, June 11, the Princess Charlène Foundation organized the very first edition of “Water Safety Days” in the Landes.
Princess Charlène went to meet the children of the southwest where introductory workshops in rescue and water safety were organized for the children of the town on the beach of Lake Léon.

These workshops were led by Stéphanie Barneix, ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and world water rescue champion, as well as by her team of athletes including three ambassadors of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation: Pierre Frolla (freediver), Kevin Crovetto (gymnast), Jérôme Fernandez (handball player) and benefited from the support of the Landes lifeguard swimmers, and the Courant D’Huchet nature reserve.
These fun and educational workshops welcomed 140 CM1 and CM2 students. Princess Charlène and Gareth Wittstock, Secretary General of the Foundation, willingly accompanied the children in this fun process.
The afternoon included a presentation of the Foundation and raising awareness of the importance of education through sport for Léon students. Relive this event through these photos.
