Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit during weekday afternoons (Tuesday or Thursday before 4:00 PM) for smaller crowds, as evenings and weekends tend to be busier with local families.
  2. 2.Bring Swedish krona or a credit card, as cash payment may be limited. Most Swedish facilities are cashless or prefer card payments.
  3. 3.Pack your own towels and flip-flops, as rental fees can add up. Swimming caps may be required in certain pools, so check ahead or bring one.
  4. 4.Note the limited weekend hours (12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday), so plan accordingly if visiting on weekends.
  5. 5.The facility is located about 20 minutes from central Stockholm by car or public transport. Take bus 401, 403, or 409 to reach Nacka from the city center.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons, particularly Tuesday or Thursday between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM, offer the quietest swimming conditions. Avoid Monday and Wednesday evenings when the pool stays open until 9:00 PM and attracts after-work crowds.

What to Know

Entry fees are typical for Swedish public pools (expect around 80-120 SEK per person). The facility has changing rooms and lockers, and basic English is generally spoken by staff, though signage may be primarily in Swedish.

Seasonal Notes
