Badbryggor

A collection of places I, unfortunately and probably for quite poor reasons, didn't swim while visiting Sweden this year.

Swedes love to swim. Ocean, river, creek, lake, dam, harbour, archipelagic waters. If it's water, they'll probably swim in it. There's no shortage of places to swim. But what there feels like there is a shortage of is nice sandy beaches that get deep at just the right rate. Badbryggan to the rescue!

Badbrygga translates to swimming-pier/jetty. A good way to get out beyond the sludgy shallows into the more welcoming waters.

Here is a selection of nice ones that I've spotted around Sweden ranging from simple to outrageously advanced.
