Nice that your visiting Stockholm!

Eriksdalsbadet is the best swim center in Stockholm (and the only big/proper one close to the city center). They have master classes although i am not sure how easy/what the procedure is to join as a visitor. I suggest you email and ask.

As you mentioned they also have a gym for weights and spin classes.

Regarding running some nice routes are 1) around Södermalm, just follow the water 2) around årstaviken (skanstullsbron and liljeholmsbron) 3) Hellasgården 4) Djurgården 5) around Kungsholmen, just follow the water

I will be in Stockholm for a day, staying in the middle of town. Is it possible to swim in Lake Mälaren (with a wetsuit)? I've read that it is open for swimming but am curious where that happens. Is it anywhere close to the City Hall? It looks like the WTS race started from there.

I wouldn't swim there, if you want open water close to the city center, I swim at källhagens brygga which is quite okay. It is on Djurgården, and there is little boat traffic, however it you can't swim too far until you have to turn so it's kind of like OW laps. If you want a better, longer swim you have hellasgården, but that is a bit outside the center

Hey, thanks! I also heard you can swim around Langholmen. Is that a good place, too?

I haven't swam there, but it should be okay! Just stay fairly close to the shore. Should be nice and chilly in the water anyhow!
