- Story Text: Four artistic swimmers showcased their talents - and this summer's Olympics - at a promotional event in London's Covent Garden on Wednesday (April 17).
The quartet, which included former Team GB Olympians Asha Randall and Katie Clark, took the plunge in a temporarily installed pool - complete with bar stalls - and performed routines to music.
It was to publicise the activities of On Location, the official hospitality partner for the Paris 2024 Olympics, who say the event is proving more popular than any other games with their client base.
They also said they are working closely with Paris organisers to ensure the safety of those visiting, especially around the opening ceremony. That event is due to take place along the River Seine in the centre of the French capital and has prompted security concerns.
Among those in attendance at the event were former Olympic medalist Laura Kenny, who confirmed her retirement from cycling earlier this year. She will be in Paris as a spectator.
