Sun 15 July 2007 // 14:00

Everybody will swim in the rivers the same day, at the same hour, in all the European rivers, from the sources and the glaciers to the oceans.
If swimming or jumping in your river is not possible, then just organize an other event and celebrate the river !
There are many ways to get citizens involved
