The River Seine reopens to swimmers in Paris, marking the first time since 1923 that bathers could take a dip in the iconic waterway following a years-long cleanup effort. 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 competed in its waters which were specially cleaned for the event.
