Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced that the River Seine will be clean enough for swimming by the end of June, aligning with the city's preparations for the upcoming Olympics. Hidalgo expressed confidence in the water quality meeting Olympic standards and has planned to demonstrate this by swimming in the Seine herself. She has also invited top officials, including President Emmanuel Macron, to join her in an event named 'the big dive'. The Seine will serve as the venue for marathon swimming and the swimming segment of the triathlon events in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
