Floating jetties right in the fjord allow you to have a safe and enjoyable swimming experience right in the ocean, whilst being in the heart of the city.

There is also a Olympic sized lap area, which even though there are many people that visit the bathing area, most don't use the lanes/lap pool area. So if you are looking for a place to do laps, without many people in your lane, this is the place to go. The best part about all of these bathing areas, is that is completely free!
