Sørenga Sjøbad

Fabulous area with different access points into the water. There is also a board to jump off into the water. I only wish we had more time to swim there.

A lovely place to relax and watch the sea and boats. Lots of pricey restaurants nearby. Apparently you can go swimming here... Maybe next time...

I had a refreshing swim taking in the sights and clean water of Oslo's fjord. The area is modern and beautiful, with many great food options eithin walking distance

This place is absolutely insane, the perfect mix of nature and city, using the sea as a public beach and swimming pool. Part of a very modern residential neighborhood. It felt surreal.

Nice place to relax and spend the end of the day, the sunset to rest, meditate, be in peace with yourself looking at this stunning view. One of the most beautiful views in the world. Unforgettable.

What an amazing amenity to have right beside Oslo city center. We visited on a weekday evening and enjoyed the warmth of a summer sunset while we swam. Lots of places to sit or lie out and great views.

A very pretty place to soak in a sunny moment, with wooden docks facing the see. However, as a swimming spot, this is just a bit of sea, and the water is cold and dark and there are seaweeds. Also, there is no place to change, and the shower is cold. Still fun though.

Hard to believe, but the water is warm enough for a good swim. Loved the diving platform and the over all design is beautiful. Very accessible for people in wheelchairs, even special swimming areas. Great for simple sun bathing too

Sørenga sjøbad is a fantastic public space just near the heart of Oslo and the Opera / Barcode area. Floating jetties right in the fjord allow you to have a safe and enjoyable swimming experience right in the ocean, whilst being in the heart of the city. For the children, there is a beach with sand and shallow water, and for adults, you can dive directly into the deeper water off the jetties. There is also a Olympic sized lap area, which even though there are many people that visit the bathing area, most don't use the lanes/lap pool area. So if you are looking for a place to do laps, without many people in your lane, this is the place to go. The best part about all of these bathing areas, is that is completely free! Every time I have been there, a lifeguard has been present at the bathing area. Café's restaurants and a supermarket are all within walking distance, grab yourself, a drink, coffee or ice-cream on a hot day.
