Knowing how great the ST knowledge is, I have to ask!
I’ll be living in Stockholm, Sweden (in Kista more precisely) for a month, starting next week.
Can someone advise on where can I find a swimming pool, or even better a group to swim with?
Of course advice on where to run and ride are also welcome.
i haven’t done any swims in kista, but am very familiar with the in-town offerings at erikdalsbadet, right off a tunnelbana stop (slussen or the next one). it has all sorts of options, inside and out. we swam there when i was in school there, but i have gone back in more recent years and found the upgrades very good. the stockholm tri people had organized swims there during my last visit, so going through them will probably get you to something good for your purposes in kista.
en;joy your time in sweden. i’m planning to come over again in january and am happily contemplating it already.

When will you be there? Stockholm is incredible in the summer. If you need a pool, they have a huge swim center (w/ an amazing 50m outdoor pool - be aware of the sun bathers who aren’t fully clothed - remember it’s northern Europe). For triathletes/swimmers - Nothing better than 50m outdoors at Eriksdalsbadet: http://www.stockholm.se/KulturFritid/Sim--och-idrottshallar/Eriksdalsbadet/
