TU SSMA 2026

Published on in Training

As part of the “Aquatic Rescue and Lifesaving” (SSMA) course (TU) offered by the UFR STAPS, approximately 100 children from the Montpellier metropolitan area participated in water confidence sessions. Twelve students from the UFR STAPS received training in supervising water safety as part of the SSMA “TU ” program.

This supplementary training program allows third-year bachelor’s degree students to develop additional skills related to the profession of lifeguard, while enriching their career path through hands-on field experience.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the French Ministry of Education and the Montpellier Metropolitan Area for their trust and support in implementing this program, which has been particularly enriching for both the students and the participating children.
