Know beforeyou dive in.
Badkollen brings together water temperature, weather and official bathing water quality for Sweden's swimming spots — so you know exactly what to expect before you put on your swimsuit.
Built on official data – no guesswork
Everything in Badkollen comes straight from Swedish authorities. We never guess the water temperature or make up a bathing water class — the numbers come from the same sources municipalities use themselves.
