Peeing in the pool, swimming in the Seine… Olympic swimmers speak out

This Saturday is Oceans Day. On this occasion, 20 minutes offers you a series of articles, videos, reports, etc. entitled “20 Minutes Under the Sea”. And since we are not close to a contradiction, we also chose to talk about the secrets of the greatest swimming champions.

In the municipal swimming pool, do you pee or not? Don’t be ashamed to admit it, the greatest swimmers have answered this question without blushing. In a few weeks, the Olympic champions, Sarah Sjöström, Noè Ponti and Charlotte Bonnet, the European medalist Yohann Ndoye-Brouard and the multi-medalist of para-swimming Alex Portal, will be the kings and queens of Paris La Défense Arena, venue of the swimming events for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. To get to know them better, we asked them the questions that we all have in mind when we see the champions underwater.
