Bathing Water Safety – Paris Olympics 2024
High-frequency real-time microbial data from the Seine River enabled evidence-based go/no-go decisions for Olympic open-water swimming events at the Paris 2024 Games.
The Challenge
Ensuring safe swimming conditions in a dynamic river system is complex, especially during high-profile events with strict safety requirements. Conventional testing is too slow to support real-time decisions.
The Solution
ColiMinder provides high-frequency, real-time microbial data, allowing authorities to track water quality dynamics and predict short-term trends. This enables evidence-based decisions on whether swimming events can proceed.
Benefits
- Safe event execution
- Real-time decision-making
- Better understanding of water quality dynamics
