less than two weeks away, a question hangs over the Games: Will the Seine River be clean enough for athletes to swim in?
But a few spells of heavy rain could push E. coli levels beyond the limit of 900 colony-forming units per 100 milliliters that the World Triathlon Federation has determined as safe for competitions. — and the marathon swimming competition would be relocated to the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium in the greater Paris region.

His company has measured the Seine's contamination levels for several years.
