Zurich Swimming Season Hits Its July Rhythm at the Lake

ZURICH - The lake baths settled into their July rhythm on Thursday: office workers at 18:30, families on the weekend, and a path that does not quite fit all the bicycles. Police added patrols after a string of complaints about scooters on the promenade.

Water quality readings stayed in the usual summer band. Lifeguards said the risk was overconfidence, not algae.

A public luxury

Cities that cannot add flats can still add opening hours. That is not a housing policy. On a July evening it is the policy people can touch. Last year's season piece is here.
