art basel swimming rhine river

Art Basel in Switzerland has a unique ritual: many attendees swim in the Rhine River, which flows through Basel. Participants use waterproof bags (often the fish-shaped Wickelfisch brand) to store clothes and belongings, then float downstream from the Museum Tinguely past the Trois Rois hotel.
