Paris closes Seine to swimmers 1 day after ending ban

  • Paris lifted its century-long ban on swimming in the Seine river over the weekend, but closed designated swimming spots one day later due to pollution concerns after rain.
  • The city had invested $1.5 billion in cleaning up the Seine in preparation for the 2024 Olympics, integrating over 20,000 homes into the sewer system to reduce pollution.
  • Officials will continue to monitor bacteria levels daily and use flags to indicate whether the river is safe for swimming, closing the areas after rainfall until levels are reassessed.
