I've been pretty happy with every public swimming pool I've tried. Yearly abo is 220 and you get access to all of Zurich's public pools. Some of them even have a hot pool or wellness section.

Well the piss level in Zürich's swimming pools was way exceeding the limits.( official test) I never swim in Zürichs pools especially those that are used by old people like Waid swimming pool. The lake is beautiful in summer and you know that you are not getting mouthfulls of piss!!!!!
If you understand German watch this!

Urine is not poisonous, and is well diluted in a pool. You can swim without any worries. After showering you might like to disinfect the bottoms of your feet, as there you can pick up skin infections.

As for the lakes, wild birds spread most disease epidemics to Europe, and there I would be careful not to swim in stagnant lake water.

About "you know that you are not getting mouthfulls of piss"; apart from the numerous farm animals near the feeder rivers plus the contribution of wild fish & birds that live in the lakes & rivers.

Forgot to say my Swiss neighbours are fond of telling me not to swim in lakes & rivers because of the "duck fleas" & the nasty diseases they distribute

The volume of water is so great that it's not comparable to a swimming pool
