Outdoor swimming pools across Sweden are now open for the season as temperatures rise. Lifeguards are emphasizing water safety, particularly urging parents to closely supervise their children while swimming. Lena Elliot, a lifeguard at Vallabadet in Hörnefors, stresses the importance of respecting the water's potential dangers. The call for vigilance comes as more families take advantage of the warmer weather and public swimming facilities. Authorities are reminding the public that while lifeguards are present, ultimate responsibility for children’s safety rests with their parents or guardians. This annual reminder aims to prevent accidents and ensure a safe swimming experience for all. The opening of these pools marks the start of the summer swimming season in Sweden.
