Zurich is boring, they said…😏
Meanwhile, once a year, 4,500 people jump into the Limmat and swim through the heart of the city 🏊♀️
Today marked the 60th Limmatschwimmen, a beloved Zurich summer tradition where a section of the Limmat normally closed to swimming because of navigation is opened for the event 🏊♀️☀️🦆
The route takes swimmers past Zurich’s Old Town, churches and landmarks before finishing at Oberer Letten 🏁
I didn’t manage to get one of the 4,500 spots this year… 🥲
So, apparently, I have a date with the Limmat next summer
Would you do it? 👀
