- Preparations for the Paris Olympics are in their final stages and river Seine will play a starring role in the games. National teams will sail down the waterway during the opening ceremony on July 26. Swimming events are also scheduled to take place in the river. But it's still not clear whether the water quality will be good enough for that.
France's sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera has taken a plunge into the Seine to show that swimming events in the water is safe.

The fact it's actually a question whether or not it's safe to swim in is enough to say it's not safe to swim in. Why even bother?
Ear infection & pink eye tomorrow.
Staph infection?
@@yenlinhtran69 sure, plus Crytosporidium, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Giardia, Naegleria fowleri, Escherichia coli, the list is long...itchy, rashy, nausea, vomit, diarrhea, UTI.
And vlamidya
Looks nasty
Why didn't you interview locals instead of tourists?
Nah that river still looks nasty still 😂
The quality of the water looks closer to a sewage drain than to a river.
you know it's not something you measure with the naked eye, right?
If you have to ask if it’s safe then it really isn’t. Seems like the Brazilian Olympics when the athletes were told not to go in the water
The Paris mayor said she'll swim in Seine next week, and Macron also said he's willing to do. Macron had shown pictures of him boxing. I bet Macron is planning to dive into Seine from the bridge at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics with his fit body, and he should. It's gonna be extremely uplifting and his approval rating will rise dramatically!
😂j’attends de voir cela avec impatience 😊
😂 France sports minister swam in Seine wearing a BURKINI under police protection !
Is this where the term "In Seine" comes from??
😂😂
Nicely done!😂
wow
It doesn't look clean at all.
I bet lots of people are thinking about sharks after watching 'Under Paris'. Politicians are a sharks favourite food.
I would not swim in it. Where I live water quality is arguably one of the highest priorities (not just drinking water also of rivers). We have a yearly contest to swim in one of them and the water gets tested before it happens. Turns out last year a flooding caused sewage overflow and leaking in the river between the testing and contest. As a result a lot of people got sick in the contest.
So I would definitely NOT swim in a massive river flowing through a metropolis. My city is not that big but Paris? Massive industrial complex, heavy traffic (that might dump some waste in between unofficially). Its just not safe.
😂 No one was convinced . So plan B Macron asked her to invite the press again and drink directly from the Seine while smiling !
Why?!? Is it because of the sharks?
Yup, sharks have swam all the way from Hawaii to the Seine and got stuck, and then became very reproductive 😅
That minister looks like, "Get me out of here! I think my neoprene just melted!"
It doesn't look clean at all.
It's a shame for France.
If you aren't prepared.... Don't Host the Olympics.
All the other prior hosts did worse. The water in both Tokyo and Rio were nasty.
But it still has major problems when a heavy rain happens as the sewage systems get easily overwhelmed 😔
How do you deal with the current?
No. You must be joking!
Is that how they test for safety? Seems very scientific.
No they already tested (I’m think maybe I’m wrong) and then went in for a swim. They delayed the event because a bunch of people threatened to poop in the water of macron showed up
Even the tourists know better than to dip their toes for a shelfie tells it all. May be slightly cleaner than the Ganges.
Looks worse than the Yamuna and Yangtze River
Wait what? Ive swam in it downriver from Paris lol! Didnt know we werent allowed. Now that they've made actual active efforts, they still dont even seem confident at all!
No river safe
Hey Macron promised to swim in Seine, where is he ?
On this occasion the french frogs were stubborn in walking the same wrong way, eberybody knew it out of Macron and his genial counselors...
Paris is so beautiful. I had always heard that growing up and seen it in movies, but seeing it in person I fell in love instantly.
Isnt there a shark in the seine?
When do you need actions to support your words?
are sewer drains still connected to it? than no. also politicians taking a lil dip is not the same as the athletes being in the water training and competing for hours.
Yes. Now they "only" dump stuff into it 4 times a year. Thought that's only in Paris. Not sure how much they did a out the east going in upstream.
@@walli6388 its a combined system like the Portland OR sewer system, everytime there is a heavy rain the storm water overflows the system and it dumps into the river to prevent backflowing into the streets.
There is no control in a combined system so unless they can control the weather to only 4 heavy rains a year a lot more is being dumped into the river and they are lying about it.
It would be the only city on the planet with a combined sewer system that doesnt dump the overflow into the river its next to.
@@dylanmccallister1888 they build a massive tunnel and aquifer to reduce the overflowing to 4 times a year.
How many antibiotic pills did he take before and after?
Don't mess up with swimming which on of most watched Olympic sport
Indoor swimming is a more popular sport to watch
no
Oh no…. Why must it be??
Uh, you Euros don’t have pools?
Lmao, invented them. It's about modernising, which Paris never did XD
Ummm no
Watch out for the shark under Paris lol
No.
Is DW News safe to watch?
Their comments are those of a FOREIGN TV Channel so very difficult for them to understand how things are working or how people are living in Paris. Or many specific details about 2024 organisation ..
Lol gross
🇵🇸🤜🏼🇮🇱🇺🇸🇪🇺🇰🇷🇬🇧🇯🇵🇹🇼🇮🇳🇦🇺
🇫🇷🔨🇩🇿
Has this minister ever seen Philippines or Maldives etc, where it is actually swimmable 😅
I dare you to swim in the Pasig River 😂
Swimming in the sea is different from a river running through a large city. The French coastal waters are perfectly good.
🇵🇸🤜🏼🇮🇱🇨🇦🇵🇭
