Schwimmen im Rhein

Schwimmen im Rhein

If you walk on the Kleinbasel side of the Rhine, you will see people swimming or floating in the fast current of the Rhine. Anyone can swim, but I recommend you be a strong swimmer as the current is strong and there are no lifeguards on standby! If you want to swim, I recommend you visit this website for more information.
