It is not yet known how many swimmers will choose to train in the Seine. The training will take place the day before the women’s 10-kilometer marathon.

World Aquatics had previously cancelled the training due to concerns about a possible increase in bacteria levels in the water. Belgian triathlete Claire Michel was hospitalised with E. coli. For this reason, the Belgian team refused to participate in the mixed relay. Other athletes have also experienced health problems.
