Everything you need before you dive in

From the map to your bathing history — here's how Badkollen helps you find the right spot and know what to expect.

Map & Discover

Find swimming spots near you in seconds.

An interactive map of every swimming spot in Sweden, with a cluster view that makes it easy to get an overview even in areas with many beaches.

The Discover tab automatically shows the swimming spots closest to you, sorted by distance in kilometres.

Filter the map by what matters to you — for example, only EU-classified bathing waters.

Real-time data straight from SMHI.

Current water temperature is fetched from SMHI's sea and lake observations for spots near measuring stations.

Air temperature, wind speed and wind direction are shown alongside the water temperature for the full picture.

Data is cached locally so you see the latest reading quickly, even on a weak connection.

Official classification from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management.

Every EU-classified spot shows its official class: Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor.

Current algae bloom warnings are shown directly on the spot's page.

See which municipality or other authority is responsible for the spot.

Find exactly the spot you're looking for.

Search by name, municipality or area across the entire catalogue of swimming spots.

Filter by EU classification or facilities, such as toilets and barbecue areas.

Search runs directly against the local catalogue — no waiting around.

Collect your go-to spots.

Mark a spot as a favourite with a single tap, directly from the list, the map, or the detail view.

A dedicated favourites tab gives you quick access to the water temperature for your saved spots.

Favourites are sorted by most recently added, so your latest discoveries show up first.

Build your own bathing history.

Mark a spot as visited and give it a rating from 1 to 5 stars.

Add a note and a photo to remember what that day was like.

See statistics on how many unique spots you've visited and your activity over the last 30 days.

Works even without a signal.

The entire catalogue of swimming spots is stored locally on your device when you install the app.

Browse, search and navigate to spots even without an internet connection.

Real-time data such as water temperature and algae warnings updates automatically once you're back online.
