Canal Swimming Pools Open in Paris
巴黎运河游泳池开放
Three swimming pools filled with filtered water from the Bassin de la Villette canal opened in northern Paris this week. The water was tested and deemed safe for swimming. Approximately 300 swimmers can enjoy the pools at one time, while others can enjoy the beachside lounging areas. Paris is hoping to win the bid to host the 2024 Summer Games, and cleaning up its waterways for swimming events is an important step. Organizers hope to hold Olympic swimming events in the Seine River which the city of Paris was built around. Swimming in Paris’s section of the Seine River was banned in 1923, but in recent years efforts have been made to improve its water quality.
本周,维莱特运河三个装有过滤水的游泳池在巴黎北部开放。池内的水经测试适合游泳。该游泳池可同时供近300人使用,其他人可以待在海滨休息室内。巴黎可能赢得举办2024年夏季奥运会的权利,为游泳比赛清理水道是重要的一步。组织者希望在塞纳河举行奥运会游泳比赛,巴黎依塞纳河而建。1923年,法律禁止人们在巴黎域内的塞纳河里游泳,但近些年来,人们在努力改善塞纳河的水质。
