Outdoor and indoor swimming near you
Outdoor swimming areas and indoor pools need to be treated as different types of places. Choose a type and search radius to find an option that suits the weather, season and distance.
Find bathing areas →Outdoor swimming areas often have no opening hours
A public beach or swimming area is normally accessible around the clock, but parking, toilets, lifeguard services and other facilities may have their own hours.
Check the municipality's information about bathing-water quality, algal blooms and temporary advice against swimming before entering the water.
Indoor pools are businesses with opening hours
Swimming pools, adventure pools and bathing facilities have opening hours, entrance fees and sometimes separate times for different pools. Therefore, they should not be confused with beaches.
The service shows when the facility closes or when it reopens when the data are available.
- Choose outdoor swimming for beaches and municipal swimming areas
- Choose indoor swimming for pools and aquatic centres
- Always check the facility's exceptional weekend hours
Planning an outdoor swim requires more than checking the temperature
At a bathing area, air temperature, wind and weather changes can affect how suitable the excursion feels, but they do not say everything about the bathing conditions themselves.
Therefore, also check the information and signage in place. Local conditions can be changed and all relevant information is not always available in map data.
Children near water require constant supervision regardless of the information shown on omkring.nu.
Swimming pool and beach are different types of search results
An indoor bath is more affected by opening hours and access, while an outdoor bathing area is more affected by weather and local conditions.
Therefore, use the site category to understand which information is most important prior to the visit.
Questions and answers

Are outdoor swimming areas always supervised?
No. The 24-hour availability of a bathing area does not mean that a lifeguard or other service is in place.
