Swimming
Although the water temperature would worry even brass monkeys most of the year, enjoy-
able seaside swimming can be had in the warmer months (July and August). The quality of
the beaches is outstanding as the majority have clean water, silky sand and plenty of room.
Generally speaking the Baltic waters (east coast) will be a degree or two warmer than
those of the North Sea (west coast). If you're swimming on the west coast of Jutland, cau-
tion needs to be taken with currents and undertows, otherwise the waters are generally
calm and child-friendly.
Aside from the miles of beaches (no place in Denmark is more than 52km from the
beach), most towns have a family-focused aqua centre with heated pool (look for the
svømmehal, or swimming hall). These are getting more grandiose, offering plenty of other
ways to wrinkle your skin (waterslides, jacuzzis, saunas, kids' play area, day spas).
There are also huge summertime waterparks - incredibly popular are the aqua playlands
of Lalandia (Billund and Lolland) and Sommerland , attached to amusement parks at Fårup
near Løkken, and Djursland.
