The August rescue team takes its post

Jean-Marc Benoit was to lead the Vierville first aid station during the month of August. He was doing his fourth season in the commune and his nineteenth as a lifeguard. Robert Jimenez, who came from the center of Marseille and wanted to discover different regions, supported him. Romain Blivet completed the team after his July experience on the same beach.

Rescuers insisted on prevention, which recent incidents in Colleville had shown the importance. They invited users to find out about the tides, dangers, instructions and colors of the flags. Their orange t-shirts made it easier to find them.

Surveillance was then provided from Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and on Sundays and public holidays from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The team remained available at the beach or at the post to inform the public.
