25th 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.
Zurich's toughest event returned to the city center in 2024 after the pandemic and a cancellation due to flooding. The destination is the charming Stadthausquai women's pool, which also welcomes men on the day of the event. The record attendance of 393 participants from 2024 was broken in 2025 due to bad weather.
In 2026, advance booking starts on November 30 at 5 p.m. and then you have to be quick. If you're too slow, you'll have to use auctions at best.
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 for 2026 is still undecided.
