new areas for swimming in the harbour
/Some politicians at City Hall have suggested that there should be more official swimming zones in the harbour … in fact up to 17 more areas where citizens could swim.
In part, this is to remove pressure from the numbers using the existing swimming areas in the harbour that can become crowded.
People swim outside the designated areas but the danger then is from boats and existing swimming areas have warning signs if weather conditions mean that there are high levels of algae or if sewers or drains have overflowed.
It has even been suggested that the system of designation should be reversed so that swimming is allowed anywhere apart from in a few specific and marked zones.
new swimming areas:
Sandkaj (to extend the present zone)
Søndre Frihavn - the East basin at Pramrenden
Refshaleøen at Halvandet (to extend the present zone)
Refshaleøen (havnebad / harbour baths)
