"Swimming Along the Tree-Lined Utoquai This historic wooden badi situated along the pretty tree-lined Utoquai near the Zurich Opera House has welcomed lakeside idlers since 1890, and parts of the original swimming “palace” still remain intact. There are now mixed and separate pools and sunbathing areas (with the occasional nude bather), plus floating decks and diving platforms. On any given summer day, there’s a lot of lake traffic nearby—crisscrossing sailboats and paddleboats—which is great if you want to feel part of the action, though a slight nuisance if it’s tranquil waters you’re seeking."
"Seebad Utoquai, a wooden bathhouse built in 1890. It’s an ideal spot to do a few swan-dodging laps in the emerald lake, followed by an espresso and a fortifying Birchermüesli."
This place is amazing. 8CHF to enter and swim. Lovely deck area and hot showers etc. Such a great vibe with a coffee shop at the bottom. Plenty of seats. Bring your own towel and soap etc. feels very private and safe and secure to leave belongings on the deck.
Enjoy swimming in lake Zurich!

Omg this is a must in good weather! Lots of locals having fun and bathing in the waters. Not so expensive compare to Zürich standards. Good facilities.

My friend and I visited the women’s area — we really liked it!
It’s a relaxed space where you can chat without unwanted attention.
At Seebad Utoquai is really nice view of sunset 🌇, but you just need a bit of patience to wait for the best spots to enjoy it😁

Excellent area to chill and swim at. Showers are clean and there is a cafe that does light snacks and drinks. Staff were really friendly and lovely. Got crowded on a Sunday afternoon but plenty of space to lie in the sun and enjoy the cool and clean water.
Would highly recommend, you can also walk 10mins to the nearest train station to go directly to Zurich airport after. Great for chilling out before your flight, it only takes 20mins to the airport by train!

Very nice public bath at a great spot in Zurich. There are separate zones for men and women if that’s important for you, but there’s also a mixed part of course. Can be very crowded at times. And it doesn’t offer much shade. So be prepared to sizzle in the sun.

Incredible public swimming area right on the river. Amazing way to spend a nice summer day. Plenty of lockers for changing and many options to lay out, enjoy the sun and play in the water. They also have a restaurant for you to enjoy food and drink. Highly recommend.
