We have summarised the requirements for you, but full details (in
French) can be found on afnor.fr. AFNOR is the French safety
standards body. Search for 'piscines' to bring up relevant standards
and articles.
The following points are intended as basic guidelines but are not a
definitive interpretation of French law regarding swimming pool
security measures:
What does the Raffarin Law mean for me?
If you have one of the following types of pools, you are not affected
by the law:
However, all open air pools that do not fall into any of the above
categories will need to comply. Failure to do so could result in a
fine of €45,000.
The safety measures outlined in the Raffarin Law should not replace
the vigilance of a responsible adult. Ensure your guests are aware of
this.

relay final

The French swimming team shone bright this week in Budapest during the 2010 European
Swimming Championships taking 21 medals: eight gold, seven silver and six bronze. The
result is France’s strongest ever performance in the European Championships.
France leaves the championships at the top of the table. Russia follows, with 12 medals
including eight gold. England made it into third place, with a strong perfomance of 18
medals in total, including seven gold.
For the French team, Camille Lacourt and Sébastien Rouault twice won gold in individual
events. Eighteen year-old Yannick Agnel, winning the 400-metres free-style, brought a breath
of fresh air into the already talented French team.
Alain Bernard defended his 100m title, making amends for a disappointing performance in
the 4x100 relay. Frederick Bousquet took the 50m sprint with a European record and
triumphed in the 4x100 medley.
Dubosc took bronze in the breaststroke, performing strongly despite being relatively old at
29. Jeremy Stravius, Benjamin Stasiulis and Fabien Gilot also took to the podium in
individual events.
In the women’s, however, the French team leaves the championships with a sense of
unfulfilled potential. They departed without a single gold medal. Ninteen year-old Ophélie-
Cyrielle Etienne, remains a bright hope for the future, taking three silver medals.
President Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday congratulated the French team for their "fabulous
performance". The entire team is invited to a lunch at the Elysée palace on 26 August.
