In the summer months, the river's water temperature can range from 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), making it more tolerable for swimming, though it may still feel cool due to the river's flow and depth. While swimming in the Lys River is not widely practiced, it is possible in certain calm areas, particularly in designated zones or near recreational spots. However, swimming is generally not recommended in most sections of the river due to concerns about water quality, strong currents, and debris.
