On 13 July in Villetaneuse, Tony Estanguet, Paris 2024 President, Virginie Lamotte, Developmental Advisor to the Agence Nationale du Sport (ANS – National Sport Agency), Lazreg Benelhadj, Vice-President of the Fédération Française de Natation (FFN – French Swimming Federation), and Pierre Viriot, EDF’s head of the Paris 2024 project, launched the summer rollout of the programme “Savoir Nager” (Learn to Swim). Five-time world champion Camille Lacourt, and Laura Tremble, finalist in synchronised swimming at Tokyo 2020, were also present, along with children, to lend their support to this second round of the programme. Launched in summer 2021, it offers free swimming lessons to children in mobile pools in deprived areas, or in pools that are usually closed or only open for bathing. With the support of Paris 2024 partner EDF, the scheme is expanding this year: sessions are being run in 29 communes across France, with the aim of reaching some 5,000 children. The first mobile pools opened on 4 July.
