The Nederrijn is a river in the Netherlands that forms part of the Rhine River system, flowing through the central part of the country. It has a major role in flood control, irrigation, and transportation. The water temperature in the Nederrijn varies significantly throughout the year, with summer temperatures ranging between 18°C and 22°C (64°F to 72°F). These temperatures can make the river more pleasant for swimming during the warmer months, although it remains cooler than other natural swimming spots like lakes. In winter, the water temperature can drop to around 4°C to 6°C (39°F to 43°F), making swimming unsafe due to the cold.

Swimming in the Nederrijn is generally not recommended due to the strong currents, particularly in areas where the river narrows or near locks and weirs. The water quality can also be a concern in some areas due to the river passing through industrial zones and cities. While it is possible to enjoy boating or other water activities, swimmers should be cautious and opt for designated swimming areas that have been tested for water quality and safety.
