Paris organizers have granted Olympic open water swimmers permission to train in the Seine River after deeming it safe for use. A two-hour training session was scheduled for swimmers to familiarize themselves with the course through the heart of Paris. However, the participation rate for this session remains uncertain.
Earlier, a test run was canceled due to concerns over fluctuating bacteria levels in the waterway. Despite ongoing efforts to improve water quality, the Seine has been a point of concern throughout the games.
