Gothenburg is a fantastic city for swimming all summer through. Smooth cliffs and salty waves aren't far away. 25 seaside resorts and four lakeside resorts which can often be reached by tram or bus. Or take a boat from the heart of the city out to the islands or along the coast. In the centre of the city, near Scandinavium, you'll find Valhallabadet with its top quality indoor pools, gym, solariums, bowling hall, etc.
