The Guardiola Sala Foundation has expanded its ‘No Child Without Swimming’ project for the next academic year in collaboration with the Manresa Swimming Club and the Bages Red Cross. This initiative, which began a year ago with forty boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 12 from underprivileged backgrounds in the region, will now include an additional twenty teenagers from the Joves Nucli Antic (JNA) program.

The agreement to extend this initiative was presented at the Manel Estiarte Duocastella swimming pools by the president of CN Manresa, Montserrat Gomáriz, the Bages Red Cross coordinator, Olga Macías, and the president of the Guardiola Sala Foundation, Pere Guardiola. Laura Guerra and Albert Estiarte also attended the meeting on behalf of the Foundation.

Thanks to this new agreement, around sixty children and teenagers from disadvantaged families in Manresa and nearby towns will be able to learn how to swim and develop their skills in the water with highly qualified coaches. Pere Guardiola noted that two boys who benefited from the project last year have now joined the youth teams of CN Manresa.
