About this app

Want to know if the Rhine in Basel is suitable for swimming right now? Rhyy gives you a quick check before you head out – on your Android smartphone, on Wear OS, and directly in the widgets.

At a glance, you can see the Rhine temperature, the current and future weather, air temperature, water level, flow rate, and UV index. Rhyy puts the values ​​into context, shows the water temperature trend over the last three days, and suggests a swimming window for today and tomorrow. This way, you don't have to gather information from multiple sources before heading to the riverbank.

Water quality isn't just about raw numbers. Comparison ranges and clear explanations help you understand what oxygen, pH, and conductivity mean for swimming – and what these measurements can't guarantee.

Plan the classic route from Tinguely to Kaserne with estimated drift and swim times. With the Swim Crew, you can anonymously show that you're going for a swim in the Rhine today. In the community, you can read the latest updates, vote anonymously, and post directly on rhyy.ch.


Your swim log stays on your device. Record duration, distance, how you felt, and notes, and keep track of your recent swims. You can send ideas or report problems directly and privately via the feedback form.

Additional features:

• Rhine conditions with interactive 6-, 24-, and 72-hour trends
• Five-day forecast for weather and water temperature
• Status and swim window widgets
• Available in Basel German, German, French, and English

• No ads, no account required, and no location access

Rhyy shows you the current conditions. However, the Rhine itself makes the decisions: Always check the conditions on-site and heed the advice of the Swiss Lifesaving Society (SLRG). Rhyy provides guidance, not authorization, and does not constitute safety or rescue advice.
