Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Paris Mayor Swims in Clean Seine Ahead of 2024 Olympics

Caption: Paris Mayor Swims in Clean Seine Ahead of 2024 Olympics. Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, swam in the Seine to celebrate its cleanup for the 2024 Olympics. This historic swim, the first in the river in 100 years, showcased the success of efforts to make the Seine safe. ”From here, we can not only host the Games, but also, in the coming years, swim in the Seine.” "And ultimately contribute to making the waters of our oceans and seas cleaner as well, since all this water eventually flows into the oceans.” The cleanup involved a €1.4bn treatment tank and improvements to the wastewater system, significantly reducing pollution. Recent tests confirmed the water's safety, allowing Olympic swimming events to take place. This achievement not only enhances the Olympics but also supports Paris's environmental sustainability goals. The cleanup marks a significant milestone in the city's history.
