Open water swimming around Långskär with Idöborg in the Stockholm archipelago

Swim in the open sea between Idöborg's beautiful neighboring islands

We swim from Idöborg over to Långskär and follow the shoreline south, into the shallow "channel" between Långskär and Ormskär and Björkkobben. There are several places where you can swim across the "channel." This means that experienced swimmers can swim a little further and those who are slower can turn back earlier. However, we always swim at least two together.

Maximum distance 3,000 meters.

  • Time: 45 min – 1.5 hours
