Swimming across the lac Leman (Switzerland-France)

Hello to everyone,


Does anyone know if a person needs an authorisation from the lake police or other bodies to cross the lake, starting point will be Switzerland and the finish is France? If so, how, where, by whom such an autorisation can be issued?


Thank you in advance

Hello,

"Out of the standard swimming area, you must ensure your visibility and your security".... That's all I can find. Maybe you can ask them (at least notify them), if not police.

Hi


there is a group who do this a couple of times per year..hook up with us at Geneva runners some of our group did it three weeks ago so they should be able to help you.


You definetely need a support crew because the lake has lots of traffic on it and doing this alone without a boat is extremely dangerous.


You don't need a license though.


Cheers,


S
