But if you’re heading into wintry, ice-cold waters you’ll definitely want to get into the water from a ladder. Here are a few options: Cold water ocean swimming If you manage to change clothes in situ, there are two ladders off the pier on Skrea Beach. The swimming ladders along Bacchus are taken in for the winter except for one at the very end that is reserved for winter swimming. Scan the QR code here to check the temperature of the water. If you want there to be a warm shower or sauna nearby, then book yourself in to Falkenberg Strandbad, Ocean Hotel or Flip Flop Beach Bar & Rooms. Here, you’re just a couple of steps away from the ocean. Finally, the beautiful sauna is now in place at the far end by the swimming ladder at Bacchus, where anyone can book it.

Cold water lake swimming The piers by some of our lakes are also a good alternative. It’s often less windy here than it is along the coast and you might get the chance to plunge into crystal clear waters. At Musasjö Lake you can hire a floating sauna (from Gekåsbyn, opens in new window), while there are BBQ huts and changing rooms by Lyngsjön. If you want to start with a quick run, there are marked paths at several points around the lake. Find your way to our lakes.

During the winter season, weeks 39–16, municipal services such as swimming ladders or steps, restrooms, supervision, maintenance, and water temperature information will be available at the designated year-round swimming spots.
