Swimsuit needed for Best of Switzerland Tour

Wondering if I need to bring a swimsuit/microfiber towel for the Rick Steves Best of Switzerland tour. See the correspondence that came in an email regarding various things about our upcoming trip. If you have been on this tour let me know if it is needed. Thanks,

“This tour has opportunities for hiking in the Swiss Alps and visiting a spa, pool, or lake. We suggest bringing sturdy walking shoes with good traction (hiking boots aren't necessary), a swimsuit, and a lightweight microfiber towel.”

I’m thinking that if the tour operator tells you to bring this, you probably should. That said I’ve not done this tour , but I have done some other things in Switzerland and yes, I was glad I had a swimsuit.

Opportunities suggests the things that are optional.
Personally, I have no interest in swimming, if you will reqret missing the opportunity? Bring it.

don't have to get in the water if you don't want to. But if you do you will need those.
