The River Seine Reopened To Parisian Swimmers

A swimming information display board is at the Pont Marie safe bathing site on the Seine River on its opening day, in Paris, France, on July 5, 2025. The River Seine reopens to Parisian swimmers this morning for the first time since 1923, offering locals and tourists a respite after scorching temperatures. The seasonal opening of the Seine for swimming is seen as a key legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics, when open water swimmers and triathletes compete in its waters, which are specially cleaned for the event.
