Water Temperature in Kiel: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name: Kiel (Schwentine)

Kiel, located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is a dynamic city that sits on the banks of the Schwentine river. This river plays a significant role in the city's ecology and lifestyle; however, specific water temperatures vary based on the time of year and the weather conditions.

Generally, the river's water temperature can be expected to be colder during the winter months due to the region's chilly climate, with temperatures often falling below freezing. During the summer months, however, the water in the Schwentine river can warm up somewhat, but it remains relatively cool, usually stabilizing in the 16-20 degree Celsius range. It's essential for potential swimmers to note that these temperatures can be quite brisk, and generally, open water swimming is only recommended for those who are prepared for cooler temperatures.

As for the possibility of swimming in the River Schwentine, while it might be physically possible, it is not commonly practiced nor broadly recommended due to water quality and current considerations, as well as the river being a natural habitat for various types of wildlife. In addition, potential swimmers would need to consider the water temperature, the presence of potentially harmful bacteria or other water-bound parasites, as well as the risk of injury from any submerged objects. Instead, most locals and tourists in Kiel prefer to swim at local swimming pools or at the beautiful beaches along the Baltic Sea, which are easier to access and generally safer.
