Hummingbirds posted:Is swimming a rare activity in places like Northern Europe, and in such places, if you want to swim do you have to go to a public pool? Finland: -About 2/3 of the adults can swim 200 meters, among the young adults number is nearly 90%. -More than half of the kids get swimming lessons in school. -200+ indoor pools, probably one in every 20k+ city. -There's lakes everywhere but the water temperature is usually enjoyable only for 2-6 weeks or so (personal preference). -However there's plenty of summer cottages near water so going to sauna and dipping in lake can be a nice experience even when the water is cold. -There's also those who swim in a hole in ice during winter but they are mostly a curiosity. I personally tend to swim maybe 1-3 times/year. Usually during the warm days in July while spending time with friends near water.
