00:00Competitors in the five-mile through Paris Swim dive in by dozens, and the River Seine becomes a seizing mass of splashing arms and kicking waves.
00:07And passing Notre Dame, there's no crowding.
00:30Even if I weren't pregnant, I wouldn't do it here. I don't think it's clear enough to swim in the Seine.
00:44L'idée est intéressante, parce que quand on va dans d'autres pays étrangers, on voit qu'ils profitent de leur environnement et qu'ils baignent.
00:53Maintenant, c'est vrai que je ne pense pas que les conditions soient réunies, qu'on a dépensé beaucoup, beaucoup d'argent, et que ce ne soit pas si simple que ça.
01:12What we see is that the water quality in the Seine is highly variable.
01:16There are only a few days in a swimming season where I would say water quality is acceptable for swimming according to the regulations currently in place.
01:30All we can say is that we can raise a hand and say, look, the science today does not support the current assessment of water safety used in the rivers around Paris.
01:43And we think that there is major risk that is not being captured at all.
01:48We wait for people to jump in. We will see what happens. And if nobody gets sick, then I'm convinced and I will jump in.
01:56Until then, we wait and rest and just enjoy the view.
02:00Enjoy the view.
