We're going to be in Sweden the latter part of June. I was wondering if anyone has been there and what the opportunities for swimming workouts are.
I've heard that the water around Stockholm is very clean and really not that cold in the summer. Are there some good places where I can get some good open water workouts?
Are there any 50m pools in either Stockholm or Gothenburg that are open to the public? I suspect that there are, but I don't read Swedish, so I'm not sure.
Thanks.

Remember, although the water can be clean, Stockholm is a major port city. there are many ships in the port. also, I don't think anyone would build an outdoor pool because of how long the winter weather can stick around. Also, even in the summer it would take a lot of energy to heat the water because of the temperature drop during the night. I've only been there once and don't remember ever seeing a pool or a notice of a pool or even people talking about swimming even when I told them I swam.
BESIDES NORWAY IS MUCH PRETTIER!!!!
