24th Zurich Santa Claus Swim
概览
简介
A somewhat unusual - but all the more popular - tradition is the Santa Claus swim. Every year in December, hardened swimmers in St. Nicholas costumes plunge into the Limmat.
Only a pandemic and unexpected flooding were able to stop Zurich's toughest event twice. In 2024, the event returned to the city center between Pier 7 and the Frauenbad Stadthausquai after five years. What began in 2000 with 65 participants has blossomed over the years into the second-largest winter swim in Switzerland. The previous record was broken with 393 participants.
2025 advance booking starts on December 1 at 5 p.m. and then you have to be quick. For those who are too slow, there are the auctions.
The ticket includes all zones of the Zurich public transport network. Spectators can also buy a ticket and receive a punch at the event.
We have been offering a platform to a charity partner since 2011. A portion of the entry fees goes to a charitable organization that cares for people who are not on the sunny side of life. The Charity Partner 2025 is still undecided.
