Bathing and swimming culture in Zug

In 1882, Zug's first bathing establishment was opened in the "Seelikon". The wooden building contained separate areas for women and men, six bathing cells with showers and a supervisor's office. The main function was personal hygiene, and bathing took place in secluded sitting baths in the basement. The first "diving and swimming festival" took place in the Seelikon in 1889. Until 1950, great importance was attached to separating the non-swimmer pools for men and women in the Seelikon.

Later, further bathing establishments and lidos were built around Lake Zug, and swimming and sunbathing became a social event. Even today, people still enjoy long summer evenings on the lakeshore and admission to the municipal lakeside baths is free for all visitors.
