Paris mayor swims in the Seine to demonstrate its safety ahead of the Olympics

People jump into the Seine River in Paris on July 17, after Mayor Anne Hidalgo swam in the river to demonstrate that it is clean enough to host the outdoor swimming events at the Paris Olympics later this month.

After Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo took a dip in the river, she said the Olympics were "a kind of magnet that attracted all our energies towards a single date, July 26, and we did it.”
