Ducks away

The 47th Limmatschwimmen took place yesterday under blue skies and hot sun, what an amazing day! The Limmat runs through the city of Zürich and once a year is open to swimmers for a short period. The profis lined up first to do their race then it was left to the rest of us, around 4500 this year, to jump in and float 2km down the river.

This year the sponsor provided us all with a duck to lean, float or sit on, the latter requiring considerable balance!

We deposited our clothes in a numbered bag and they were taken down river in readiness for our arrival

Nothing left but to enjoy the view, and what a view it was, a fantastic way to end the holidays, superb!
