As of today, the minimum water temperature in the Seine River ranges from 41°F (5°C) to 47°F (8°C). This water temperature is still quite low, and swimming in such conditions may only be comfortable for hardened individuals. It is recommended to limit the time spent in the water to avoid hypothermia. For those not accustomed to cold water, it is better to refrain from swimming. However, if you decide to enter the water, it is advisable to wear a warm wetsuit for protection against the cold.
It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

The Seine River, flowing through Paris and northern France, has varied water temperatures that shift with the seasons. In summer, the water temperature can reach around 20°C to 24°C (68°F to 75°F), while in winter, it may drop to about 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F). These temperatures can make swimming in the Seine appealing during warm months, although water quality issues often restrict recreational swimming. In recent years, Paris has made efforts to improve the Seine’s cleanliness in preparation for the 2024 Olympics, aiming to make parts of the river safe for public swimming events.
Currently, public swimming in the Seine is restricted within the city, though some exceptions apply outside of Paris where the water quality is better. There are also designated swimming areas and river beaches nearby, allowing people to enjoy the scenic views of the Seine without direct immersion in the river within urban areas.
