Mayor Anne Hidalgo was originally scheduled to jump into the Seine River on the 23rd of last month, but postponed her schedule due to water quality issues and the fast current. During the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games, triathlon swimming events and open water swimming, known as the “swimming marathon,” will be held on the Pont Alexandre III and Pont de la Alma sections of the Seine River.

Due to deteriorating water quality, the Seine River has been closed to entry since 1923. Paris, which successfully hosted the Olympics this year, has been carrying out a large-scale project to purify the Seine River by investing 1.4 billion euros (about 2 trillion won) over 7 years to install sewage treatment plants and rainwater treatment plants and crack down on the discharge of wastewater.

On the 17th (local time), 9 days before the 2024 Paris Olympics, media and citizens are showing keen interest in covering Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo swimming in the Seine River near the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. Paris=Reporter Yang Hoe-seong [email protected]

However, the controversy over whether swimming in the Seine River is possible has not ceased due to problems such as E. coli and enterococci detected above the standard. Nevertheless, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee recently announced that the concentration of E. coli and enterococci in samples collected from four points in the Seine River met the swimming standards of the World Aquatics Federation. After swimming for about five minutes that day, Mayor Hidalgo said with a bright expression, “The water is really good,” “We have dreamed of this moment for years,” and “Our goal is to be able to swim in the Seine River even after the Olympics are over,” but it remains to be seen whether the controversy over the water quality of the Seine River will be put to rest.
