Monaco Summertime's Swimming and Diving Treats for Children

This summer children and teens between the ages of 8 and 14 are in for a special treat when Monaco’s Pierre Frolla, the holder of multiple deep-sea-diving world records, will re-open the recently refurbished aquatic school with classes for children who want to learn to swim, dive and learn about the pristine waters of the Mediterranean off the coast of the Principality of Monaco.

The newly named, Ecole Bleue, Académie de la Mer (the Blue School Sea Academy) reopens on July 3 for beginners and experienced divers, offering specialized classes in swimming, scuba diving and other Mediterranean marine adventures. Youngsters are also taught to appreciate the fragility of the underwater ecology and to literally "dive in" to discover the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean.
