I don’t know what paris is doing here, but I doubt it.

It’s fairly standard practice for triathlons to dump a whole bunch of bleach into a lake or river to make it safe to swim in for a couple of days, but without continual treatment it quickly goes back to normal.

I'm not sure where this might be standard practice, but this would be very illegal in most of Europe. So that's not what is going to be done (as explained in the article).


definitely illegal in Europe, never heard of it. Wouldn't that massively hurt the environment???
