CHRenata von Tscharner, a Swiss woman born in 1948 in Lützelflüh, brought the tradition of river swimming from Switzerland to Boston. After studying architecture and urban planning at ETH Zurich, she moved to England and later settled in the United States. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, she founded the Charles River Conservancy in 2000, which aimed to improve the Charles River’s quality and integrate it into public life. One of her main goals was to reintroduce river swimming in Boston, where it had been largely prohibited due to water quality and legal restrictions. Over 25 years, she worked to make the Charles River swimmable again, organizing public swimming events and advocating for environmental improvements. Today, the river is once again open for swimming, fulfilling her lifelong mission.
