In the River Seine. The venue is called Pont Alexandre III.
Marathon swimming takes place in open water. For Paris 2024, the choice was made to hold the event in the Seine, at the heart of the city. Athletes must complete a 10km course. Their endurance, physical strength and brain power are all put to the test over the two hours its takes to complete this long-distance course.

While most swimming events will be at La Défense Arena's Olympic swimming pool, the 10K swimming marathon will be in the river Seine. It will start from and end from Pont Alexandre III, a magnificent bridge that connects the two banks.
