Nordhavn Havsvømmebane
The sea swimming lane in Nordhavn is designed for experienced swimmers who want to train in open water under safe conditions, and offers a sporting alternative to the classic harbour baths – a long, open stretch where you can experience both the city and the Øresund at the same time.
It is 500 metres long and 125 metres wide and marked with large yellow buoys and lane ropes. The swimming lane is located off Ydre Nordhavn, and can be used all year round. It is part of Copenhagen's goal of making it easy to be active in the harbour.
Right next to it is an activity area for SUP, kayaking and surfing, which is separated from the swimming lane so that everyone can move around safely, and the area also has a dedicated diving area.
Nordhavn Sea Swimming Lane has been established in collaboration between the City of Copenhagen and By & Havn, so that both swimmers and shipping traffic can use the harbour side by side in a safe manner.
