Once with the current - swimming the Limmat in Zurich

Take the plunge! The legendary 59th Limmat Swim in Zurich awaits you on 16 August 2024. A unique event where you can let yourself drift through the Limmat - in the middle of the city!
The Limmatschwimmen is one of the most spectacular summer events in Zurich. Once a year, the Limmat is transformed into a gigantic swimming route where thousands of participants float through the crystal-clear water. The approximately 1.8-kilometre course leads right through the heart of Zurich - with magnificent views of the historic old town and the vibrant city life.
Important: To take part, you need a ticket, which sells out quickly due to limited places. Make sure you secure your starting authorisation in good time!
