During the summer season, the risk of drowning is high in lakes, rivers or in the sea. Lifeguards are on alert.
As all summers, the risk of drowning is high in waterways, very frequented in this season. During the scorching temperatures, everyone seeks freshness and many French people bathe. The police patrol the bords de Loire in order to carry out prevention. A teenager was drowned last week.
Elsewhere, all the natural beaches or beaches installed for the summer season are supervised by lifeguards. “We are very vigilant and our attention is focused both on the child, and also on the speech of the parents. If we see that the child is going too far and that unfortunately the parent, for him it’s not far enough (…), then we tell them Nope“, describes a lifeguard at the edge of a Lyon beach. 1,500 people drowned during the summer of 2021. Lifeguards must therefore be extra vigilant.
