Zug’s Bathing and Swimming Culture
In 1882, Zug’s first public bathhouse opened at the “Seelikon.” The wooden building featured separate areas for women and men, six bathing stalls with showers, and a supervisor’s office. Its primary function was personal hygiene, and bathing took place in screened-off sitting baths in the basement. The first “Diving and Swimming Festival” was held at the Seelikon in 1889. Until 1950, great importance was placed at the Seelikon on physically separating the non-swimmer pools for men and women.
Later, additional bathhouses and beach resorts 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 city’s lakeside baths is free for all visitors.
