The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing, and Team USA is making a big splash in the swimming events. While the pool events have concluded (and earned Team USA a whopping 28 medals, including four for Katie Ledecky), the open water swimming competition takes place on August 8 and 9. That event is still scheduled to take place in the Seine River, despite the fact that some athletes have gotten sick after competing in the water, which is continually being tested for bacteria.
