YVONNE STUTZ
Winter swimming came slowly into Yvonne's life. She has always gone swimming everywhere, she was happy when the place, and not the water temperature were inviting. Not only while traveling but also on a normal working day in summer, one always found a bikini and towel in her bag. Since 2019 she is now swimming regularly all year round and likes to meet other people who love to travel while exploring new swimming spots. She works as team assistant and swims several times a week over lunch in Lake Lucerne. Yvonne likes to spend her free time outdoors in nature. In 2021, she swam in 30 different waters in Switzerland, most of them were between 3 and 15 degrees "warm". A few swim spots had to be skipped: Swimming in cold water must always be done carefully with full respect to the general swimming rules and other safety factors. Therefore, the bikini sometimes has to stay in the bag with a heavy heart.

Favorite Swimming Spot:
It is not the place but the moment that delight Yvonne. This can be a half-frozen mountain lake where the sunlight reflects on the snow or a gray lake of which the other bank is barely visible due to the cloudy fog.
