The Swedes love their nature and it felt the fitting thing to do when here to stay by some water and soak up the natural surroundings. Bruksvillan was perfect for this and with its own private swimming platform I felt I should do some training for the Swimtrek. It was surprisingly warm and many locals swam in the waters despite it looking, in colour, like black tea. The setting made it a great experience but I’m afraid the thought of creatures and rocks beneath meant I wasn’t brave enough to put my face in. This doesn’t bode well for the Swimtrek.
