介绍： Athletes and organizers in Budapest say the water is fine in the fast-flowing Danube river. Here is the current that many people see is scary or causes them anxiety. In recent years, we noticed that we Hungarians swim very little in the Danube. The event is part of the Budapest urban games, where the city's local government encourages using the citys parks, roads and waterways as sporting venues. In past years, concerns about pollution and the Danube kept many swimmers away.

But the urban games' founder and organizer Velaz Meso says the city cleaned up the river years ago. We try to tell people every year that the Danube is clean. Since 2010 we've channeled all sewage to a cleaning plant. Plus we're far from the eddies at the foot of the bridges. Athletes swim for causes like breast cancer awareness. But former Hungarian Olympic and world champion boxer Coco Kvac swims for national pride. To swim in our beautiful river is not a big challenge, that's uh it's a great feeling, you know.

布达佩斯的运动员和组织者们表示，多瑙河的湍急水流很好。这就是引起很多人害怕和恐慌的急流。近年来，我们注意到我们匈牙利人很少在多瑙河游泳。这项赛事是布达佩斯城市运动会的一部分，在布达佩斯，当地政府鼓励将该市的公园、道路和水道作为体育场馆。在过去的几年里，对污染和多瑙河的担忧使许多游泳者望而却步。

但是城市运动会的创始人和组织者维拉兹·梅索表示，布达佩斯几年前就清理了多瑙河。我们每年都试图告诉人们多瑙河是干净的。自2010年以来，我们已将所有污水排放到一家清洁工厂。另外，我们离桥下的漩涡很远。运动员游泳是为了提高对乳腺癌的认识。但前匈牙利奥运会和世界冠军拳击手科科·克瓦茨游泳是为了民族自豪感。在我们美丽的河里游泳不是什么大挑战，那是一种很棒的感觉。
