Floating swimsuit: how to benefit from 100% coverage by CARSAT Sud-Est?
Everything about the procedure for coverage by CARSAT South-East
CARSAT South-East has launched an unprecedented initiative to promote access to gentle physical activities, maintaining autonomy, and well-being: the OSCAR prevention package.
In this context, Safety Concept by Plouf has been selected as the official partner, allowing eligible people to benefit from a 100% coverage of their Floating swimsuit Safety Concept by Plouf, without any upfront costs.
Thanks to our "Relais bienveillance" program, everyone can now help a loved one take advantage of this innovative solution for aquatic activity while receiving a €25 gift voucher.
👇🏼 In this article, we explain in detail how the coverage works, who can benefit from it, and what steps to follow for your loved one to obtain your equipment.
Why does CARSAT South-East support our floating swimwear?
Our Floating swimsuit is a French innovation that facilitates the safe practice of aquatic activity. Designed to support people seeking comfort, balance, and confidence in the water, it represents a true support for resuming gentle physical activity, relaxing and preserving autonomy.
CARSAT South-East has integrated it into the framework of the OSCAR prevention package, a system designed to encourage wellness and health prevention actions.
The goal is simple: to promote accessible, safe, adapted, and useful physical activity solutions for daily life.
This institutional recognition marks an important step: aquatic activity is no longer perceived solely as a leisure activity, but as a real lever for well-being.
What is the OSCAR prevention package?
The OSCAR prevention package is a program offered by CARSAT Sud-Est as part of its health prevention policy. It allows certain people to benefit from a dedicated funding for the acquisition of equipment or activities promoting autonomy and quality of life.
What the OSCAR program covers
This package can finance:
- adapted physical activity solutions
- equipment designed to promote the maintenance of autonomy
- devices facilitating the gentle resumption of physical activity
- local initiatives labeled and recognized for their impact
Our Floating swimsuit therefore perfectly fits in since it supports movements, assists in the water, secures without constraint and allows a progressive and serene resumption of activity.
Who can benefit from the CARSAT Sud-Est coverage for a Floating swimsuit?
The coverage depends on several criteria defined by CARSAT Sud-Est. Even though each request is examined individually, we generally find:
- people residing in the geographical area covered by CARSAT Sud-Est (in PACA and Corsica)
- beneficiaries of prevention programs (being retired as the main occupation and being autonomous in daily life activities)
- people who have received an invitation or eligibility letter under the OSCAR scheme
- people for whom health prevention support is recommended
It is not necessary to justify a particular sports level or specific medical condition: the scheme aims above all to facilitate access to gentle, regular, and caring physical activity, regardless of each person's pace or abilities.
What is the amount of the coverage?
CARSAT Sud-Est covers 100% of the cost of Floating swimsuit Safety Concept by Plouf, without any advance payment.
Specifically: the eligible person receives a code or dedicated link, orders their swimwear directly, and pays nothing.
The coverage is full and immediate, within the budget limit granted by CARSAT to each beneficiary.
The "Relais bienveillance" program: an additional aid to support a loved one
At Safety Concept by Plouf, we decided to go further by creating the "Relais bienveillance" so that everyone can support a loved one in their return to aquatic activities while valuing this commitment. 🤝🏼
By helping an eligible person obtain their Floating swimsuit covered at 100%, you receive a voucher worth 25€.
This symbolic gesture aims to encourage mutual aid, social connection, and the sharing of important health prevention information.
