Copenhagen Harbour Baths

For the swimming season of 2002, the harbour bath at Islands Brygge opened as the first harbour bath in town. In 2003, the harbour bath was towed to the other side of the harbour and set up at Fisketorvet, while Islands Brygge got a new larger and permanent harbour bath designed by PLOT. In 2010, the third harbour bath opened at the Svanemølle Bay after several delays and changes to the design. ==Water quality==

The water in the harbour today is as clean as that of Øresund. The harbour baths are a result of a consistent effort to improve the water quality in Copenhagen Harbour to an extent that allows for bathing to take place. The harbour baths are generally open all days of the week in the bathing season. In the event of unusually strong rains, sewage water may spill into the harbour and cause pollution with E. coli bacteria, closing the harbour baths temporarily. Such a closure normally lasts for a couple of days until tidal flux has changed all the water. Water quality is being monitored and reported on a dedicated web site ==Individual venues==
