PARIS, France — Emmanuel Macron still plans to swim in the River Seine as promised but 'not necessarily' before the Paris Olympic Games which begin in a week, the Elysee presidential office said on Friday.

The French president has insisted several times that he would dive into the capital's river to highlight the possibility of swimming there again thanks to major depollution work, and to reassure about the quality of the water.
