Five places for lake swims, river dips and a complete afternoon by the water.

Geneva is a charming little city beset by water on all sides. It gets brutally hot in the summer, and the climate does seem to be changing. The lake divides the city in two before becoming the Rhône River, which is my preferred place to submerge myself in some high-quality H2O.
The lake is nice, too, and don’t skip Bains des Pâquis just because it’s a major tourist spot. It’s actually an A+ place for a swim, a drink, and maybe even a Greek salad.
Here’s where to dip your dogs once the snow starts melting.
