Water Safety Day in Viareggio, Italy.

On Wednesday 17 June, H.S.H. Princess Charlene attended a new edition of the “Water Safety Day”, organised by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation at the Bagno Flora beach in Viareggio.

Since 2014, this initiative has been raising children’s awareness of the fundamentals of water safety, sports rescue and first aid. This year, nearly fifty young people from leisure centers and inclusive associations of Viareggio participated in educational and sports workshops led by Stéphanie Barneix, Ambassador of the Foundation and her team, alongside Italian rescuers.

The morning was also marked by the impressive demonstrations of the Italian Coast Guard, the Italian School of Rescue Dogs (SICS) and the participation of the Italian Red Cross in Viareggio.

For the first time, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was also associated with the event as part of the “Together Crossing for the Pelagos” project, whose departure for the waterbike crossing will be given by TT.SS.HH. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene in Viareggio this Friday, June 19.
