Dear alumni

The heat is on—temperatures are soaring around 33°C, and we’re hoping for more sunny days to come all the way into August! What better way to cool down than by reviving one of our favorite summer traditions?

Join us for Rhine Swimming 2026! We’ll meet at the Tinguely Museum, grab our trusty Wickelfisch (floating swim bags), and jump into the river for a fun and relaxing float down to the Kaserne. There, we’ll shower, dry off, and head out together for a chilled drink and a lively evening of conversation and connection.

Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or just in for the fun, this event promises good vibes and great company.
