However, keen swimmers are unlikely to spend long in the lake just yet. Lake Zurich is currently at just under 10°C. Conditions are warmer at the Seebach outdoor pool, which is heated using district heating.
The Letzigraben outdoor pool will open for the season on May 1, with more pools set to open the following weekend.
