Three SNSM lifeguards for the summer season

During the two summer months, three SNSM rescuers ensured the safety of vacationers on the beach of Vierville-sur-Mer. The postmaster, David Bangoura, originally from Caen, was completing his eleventh season. Dominique Guillebeul, also from Caen, returned to Vierville for a fourth season. Nicolas Crellier, from La Rochelle, took his first position there.

Every day, the team watched the swimming from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. She also ensured the speed of the boats and the respect of the access trouts. Lifeguards displayed weather forecasts, tide times and water quality.

They provided first aid for small beach accidents. The post had radios, a Zodiac and a small infirmary. The number indicated by the coupure to reach the emergency services at that time was 02 31 22 40 24.
