EAU VIVE PLONGÉE ORLÉANS

Swimming in the rivers, descend torrents swimming… A source (no pun of words) of adrenaline mount, a sports practice that comes from the aquatic environment of our ancestors. A legacy of swimming practices at the time necessary to make certain trips possible, swimming in deep water is now a recognized sport. Born in 1970, this sport saw in its beginnings the swimmers descend from torrents, equipped with palms and combinations. The activity was launched and is already like when Claude Puch, a specialist in trade Paris bridges and roads, had the brilliant idea of designing a float that would therefore have protection, added to a good flotation system. Sport was truly born. In 1981, the French association for swimming in vibrant waters was born, which will become the Federation: F.F.N.E.V., literally French Federation of Swimming in Water Vive. In Orléans, it is by joining the members of the "Water Vive Diving" club, that you can discover and practice this sport.
