Swimming in the Limmat:
Cult since 1945.
The Zurich Limmat Swim is as much a part of Zurich as the Sächsilüte or the Grossmünster.
Since 1945, or 58 editions, thousands of water sports enthusiasts have been swimming down the Limmat every August.
And with them thousands of bright yellow, cuddly swimming animals.
These custom-made products, which we produce for our long-standing customer ewz, are not only practical swimming aids, but also the visual highlight of the event.
ewz, deeply rooted in Zurich and with a strong focus on sustainability, sponsors the Limmatschwimmen as one of many Zurich events in the areas of sport, culture and society.
Limmy, Röbi and Co.:
Special production from A to Z.
A special highlight of the Limmat Swim: every year, participants can submit name suggestions for the swimming animals on ewz’s social media channels. Thousands of dolphins named Limmy floated down the Limmat in 2023 and armies of sea lions named Röbi in 2024. Whether dolphins, sea lions or hippos – the ewz swimming animals are a special production that is customized from A to Z. Our in-house creative department provides initial suggestions and our graphic designers turn them into unique models. Every year, a unique model floats down the Limmat.
Whether it’s inflatable swimming animals, car air fresheners or customizable raclette beds – we are masters of custom-made products.
