Züri Open Water Swim Pod

This group is for like minded people who are interested or enthusiastic about open water swimming. The group will meet once a week on Fridays in the morning to do some open water swimming training. The informal meet ups will start at the beginning of June and will go through until the badi’s close in September.

Between the hours of 7-9am the lake is open to swimmers who do not want the interference of boats. Therefore, the group will meet at 7:15am at Utoquia Bad with aim to be in the water by 7:30am at the latest. The group will swim between Utoquai and Seebad Enge which is around 600 meters each way without a stop or place to rest. Following the swim, the group will enjoy a coffee at Utoquai for those who can join.

Given the distance, this is advised for swimmers who are confident in their abilities. Individuals are responsible for their own safety and estimation of skill level. Additionally everyone will be responsible to pay for the badi entry (8 CHF or seasonal pass is available).

While swimming is a solo activity, it is nice to create a community of people who enjoy it!
