Three lifeguards watch the beach during the summer

Since July 3, three SNSM rescuers were installed by the sea in Vierville to monitor the bathing area until the end of the summer. The text presented Franck Caneva as postmaster, assisted by Nicolas Cornille, qualified lifeguard, and Aurélie Holle, lifeguard.

The team was on duty from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. That year, a rescuer remained on duty during the lunch break. In addition to the safety of bathers, their missions included respect for bathing areas and boat access channels, as well as prevention and public information.

A new Algeco improved the working conditions of the position, also equipped with an infirmary for the first interventions. At the beginning of the week, the rescuers rescued a hiker on the coastal trail, then transported him to his care by the firefighters for an evacuation to the Bayeux hospital.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The photographic legend names "Franck, Aurélie and Stéphane", while the body of the article quotes Franck Caneva, Nicolas Cornille and Aurélie Holle. This contradiction is not resolved arbitrarily.
