Dropping the kid off at the pool

Son and dad at Eriksdalsbadet's outdoor pool.

Lots of splashing going on in the kids pool.

Today we enjoyed 75F degrees and a clear blue sky with the sun beaming at us. So we decided to go to Eriksdalsbadet, just a few blocks from our house. The outdoor heated pools show 64F degrees, much warmer than the natural waterways around the archipelago islands, where the beaches are reporting that the water has now reached 46F degrees!
WC loved the pools and did not want to leave! He was diving by himself and enjoyed getting under water and trashing about in the different pools. The place was pretty crammed with people, and the line was looong, but once inside we had an awesome time (as you can see from the photos)!

Here is a map of Sweden with local water temperatures from today's weather service. (Click image to enlarge.) Temperatures in Celsius (since Anders Celsius was a Swede!). Some refreshing beaches around  Luleå - with 3C or 37F and some much warmer around Stockholm, 46F, and even as much as 57 degrees F on the west coast.
