The two open water 10km marathon swimming medal events -- one each for men and women -- were held at the Pont Alexandre III, through the Seine River, at the Paris Olympic Games 2024. The distance-swimming discipline was scheduled from 8th to 9th August, and saw some gritty performances. The races featured 22 swimmers each, three less than those in the Tokyo 2020 roster.
