400 CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE ATENEU SANT ROC DE BADALONA FOUNDATION WILL ENJOY ACTIVITIES IN THE SWIMMING POOL DURING THE SUMMER

The activity is aimed at promoting aquatic activity among groups at risk of social exclusion, and is one of the winning projects of the Fluidra Day 2022

The Ateneu Sant Roc Foundation’s solidarity swimming pool project was one of the winners of this year’s Fluid Day. Its aim is to promote the activity of swimming in various projects aimed at children, young people and mothers in a vulnerable situation in the neighborhood of Sant Roc de Badalona (Catalonia), with few possibilities to learn to swim.

The project is based on the premise that aquatic activity promotes the learning of swimming, physical exercise, the mother / child relationship, psychomotor work and allows to work on personal hygiene habits after the activity.

For children and young people, during the first fortnight of July, the swimming pool activity was carried out once a week in each of the 3 summer camps (2 for children and 1 for young people), with a total of 180 children and young people benefiting.

As for the Summer Camp, 214 children and young people and 56 monitors went to the Cardedeu and Montmeló swimming pools

Between 18 and 24 July, 70 children will take part in the Camps in Sant Pau de Segúries, and 32 more will do so in the second round, between 25 and 31 July. The summer camp house has a swimming pool, and children and the educational team carry out daily activities there

The Ateneu Sant Roc Foundation carries out community work for the social cohesion of the Sant Roc district of Badalona, through educational, cultural, social and leisure projects for children, young people and adults, with special emphasis on groups at risk. of social exclusion.

The Fundació Fluidra and Fluidra convene the Fluidra Day annually, a participatory project aimed at workers in the group's companies, which aims to find social pool projects that need funding. In the 2022 edition, 9 projects were selected.
