Basel Rhine Swim 2012

Rheinschwimmen.

Yesterday (Aug. 14) was the 32nd annual Basel Rhine Swim, where over 6,000 people floated “down the creek together”, starting at 6:00 p.m.  There was even a gunshot to start the swim, which was somewhat startling!  The water was a balmy 23° celsius (roughly 73° farenheit), which is up a few degrees from earlier this summer.  This was the third time we've floated down the river, but never with such a large crowd. Good fun!


Matt with his wickelfisch!
