Swimming lessons at the beach

Spring is the perfect time to learn to swim ! There are still few people on The beaches and the sun is not yet beating too hard on the heads of our little cherubs. To support you in this learning, it is Richard who will be their instructor and who will help them jump into the deep end.

Discovery of the Bandol seabed
Quai du Port – in the heart of the city center, opposite the Town Hall.
After learning to swim like a fish in water, it's time to go visit them! It turns out that in Bandol, we are lucky enough to welcome a strange yellow boat into our port. The Aquascope is actually a submarine which offers outings in the bay of Bandol. Its particularity is its glass bottom which allows you to observe the marine fauna and flora. And having heard from several families at the reception of our tourist office, we assure you that the experience is very popular with children aged 3 and over.
Information and outing schedules available right here:
outing to the zoa park in sanary-sur-mer
