# The Cold Club Lausanne

> Free, non-commercial cold-water swimming community in Lausanne (Ouchy) and Geneva (Bains des Pâquis). Season 2025–26 ended 26 April 2026. Waiting list open for season 2026–27. No membership fee, donation, tip, or payment.

Founded in Lausanne in 2023. Meetups and free introductions to cold-water swimming for first-timers and regulars. Not a commercial activity or formal association. Concept: meet by the lake, enter gradually at your own pace, then dry off and warm up together. Cold-water swimming carries risk and should never be practised alone; participants are responsible for their safety, health, and insurance. Contact: hello@coldlausanne.ch.
