£1.2bn clean-up job for water swimmers by UK government ….
After comfortably competing in the Seine on Friday, open-water swimmers from Britain have asked the UK government to cleanup its dirty waterways by following France’s example. The French government invested £1.2 billion on a massive cleanup effort of the Paris river, where swimming was prohibited for almost a century. All five events involving swims in the Seine have taken place, including two 10k open-water races and three triathlons, despite the men’s triathlon being postponed by one day due to low water quality last week.In the midst of the domestic sewage dumping scandal—which Liberal Democrat environment spokesman Tim Farron has called a “national disgrace”—Heckord Pardoe and Toby Robinson hope Britain might take a cue from France. “This will be the legacy of Paris 2024,”It establishes an excellent model for river cleanup for the remaining European countries. We have a long way to go before we can even come close to what France has accomplished in this regard, so perhaps we can follow it in the UK.Robinson, who finished in fourteenth place, continued, asking, “Why can’t we do this back in Britain? Paris has managed to undertake a significant effort in cleaning up this river.” It would be an incredible experience if we could encourage swimmers to go in the Thames. The globe must to observe how Paris is cleaning up the Seine and implement similar measures in their own rivers. Pardoe is dating Cassandre Beaugrand, a French triathlete who won last week’s women’s event in Paris. He claims that his spouse hasDespite concerns about catching E. coli due to the germs in the water, it sets a very excellent precedent that the triathletes from Team GB and the rest of Europe have not become ill after swimming in the Seine. The water felt great, but Pardoe said, “I am going to take some preventative antibiotics and wipe my hands.” You don’t taste E. Coli very well; I’m not an expert in that area. It wasn’t much different, I believe, from any lakes I’ve swum in in the UK.
