This public swimming pool saved me from melting on my recent trio to CPH. I got off the plane to…read moreimmense heat and the first thing I did was buying a bikini and heading out to Havnebadet for the afternoon. Although there are no facilities right there, the nearby shopping centre has plenty clean bathrooms and you can quickly get changed there also. If you can no longer stand the city heat, stroll or bike out here for a few hours instead.

Our kids love jumping from the huge ship like platform at Islands Brygge harbor bath. The gated and…read morelife guarded pools are an excellent way to cool off in true Copenhagen fashion. My only con would be that Islands Brygge itself is quite a scene - to see and be seen by young locals out having a good time. The area can be popular with boisterous partying groups and packed on a hot day. Many options for snacks, drinks and ice cream nearby.

Copenhagen weather is known to be unpredictable and the day we wanted to walk around and explore,…read morethere was a heavy rainstorm. Rather than being stuck in our hotel, we opted for exercise. The close proximity to the central train station and our hotel is a plus. It also meant having lots of tourists dropping by with the same idea we did. Nevertheless, this place seems to be frequented by locals as well, because the baby pool was CROWDED. (the pool was nice and warm though!) Hubby swims like a fish and he really enjoyed the circular swimming pool. The lap pool is an odd shape, so everyone has to swim in one direction. The water is cool and clean, but seeing the other yelp reviews, it gets disgusting and murky in the afternoon. (we came around 9am) The entrance free, after 9am, is 65 Dkk. Locker facilities are well equipped and spacious, plenty of private changing rooms for the ladies so if you're shy baring down in front of strangers, take advantage of the stall. There are also soap/shampoo provided but everything else, you would've to bring on your own. If you've had one too many Danish pastries (and you will), put on your swim suit and do laps around the pool. You'll burn calories and make room for more.

DGI water culture house contains of several swimming pools, hot pool area, sauna etc. I am there to…read morefine polish my swimming techniques so I like to go there in the morning.. The main swimming area is shaped as a 100 m long ring, so you swim in a circle. I am not very found of the circle shape because you tend to bend your body in the direction you're swimming.. The water is very clean in the morning but in the afternoon, as in every place In central Copenhagen, there are too many people and the ring gets too crowded and the water gets muggy. The location of DGI is right next to the grand central station and in the radius of 100 m there are several hotels which means DGI is very popular among tourists.. I prefer not getting splashed too much in the water and if you're like me then you should pay DGI a visit in the morning.. It is one of the few swimming areas which open from 6 am and the entrance is almost half price between 06-09 am..

What a remarkable place! We took the train from downtown, which was easy to do -- just a few stops,…read moreobvious place to get out, very pleasant ride and nice station. A quick walk through a pleasant neighborhood, then a very short walk through the woods and a small park. There's a toilet at the bathing structure. Also, when we went, there was a snack bar. And there is also a parking lot. The structure is remarkably interesting -- a great place to take a high dive plunge or slip in and paddle around. The water was chilly but refreshing. It felt safe and convenient and was a wonderful slice of Danish life. Try the pleasant cafe just to the north.

If you'd like to have a bath in the ( cold ) sea during spring or summer, you should go to this…read moreamazing place in Copenhagen. It's a sea bath, recently built at South of the city. Designed by White Arkitekter, it's a very nice building, all in wood. You can swin from it, sink from it, have sun. There are mainly teens in the "loop"but it's very funny to see them, talking, dredging, etc... Then, you can go there by metro or bicycle. There's a nice promenade all along the sea, in Amager Strandpark. It's magic !

Swimming in the Copenhagen harbor is an iconic summer thing when visiting or living in Denmark. The…read moreharbor bath (pool) near the large Fisketorvet Shopping center is quieter than its larger cousin further down the canal at Islands Brygge. There are many lanes here for swimming laps and a diving platform for kids of all ages to jump in and cool off. The "children's pool" here was a little green with seaweed and may be offputting to some. This is not a crystal clear swimming pool, but a life-guarded and contained place to safely swim right in the harbor.
