Narrow beaches and several large rocks offer good swimming for the experienced. The green island of Långholmen is a popular destination for swimmers.
What a joy to swim in open water in the middle of a city! Had a couple of fabulous early-morning swims during a visit for work this summer. The island offers peace and tranquility in the midst of the bustle. Just a 10 min walk from the nearest metro too. Water temperature (in July) surprisingly comfortable, clean too.
