What do we know about Svedmyrabadet’s future?
- Svedmyrabadet closed in autumn 2024. In his response dated 8 April 2026, Jan Valeskog referred visitors to Sandsborgsbadet. The reviewed sources do not show a later decision on Svedmyrabadet’s future or reopening. 1 2
What the city has decided
- According to the April response, the pool occupies a residential building’s basement and does not meet current accessibility requirements. The response describes Sandsborgsbadet as more accessible, with water at about 30°C and some minor adjustments, although it too did not meet all requirements. 1
What remains uncertain
- The investigation’s findings were due in the first half of 2026. That period has passed; the findings are absent from the reviewed sources. This establishes neither that the investigation is complete nor that it is still underway. 1
- The April response says Sandsborgsbadet needs renovation and will have to be vacated, with arrangements requiring investigation. It does not provide a completed replacement arrangement for that renovation. 1
Why is this happening?
In her interpellation, Emelie Wassermann (SD) asked about decisions, a timetable and replacement swimming facilities. The councillor’s response describes both the pool’s difficult circumstances and the need for solutions for southern Stockholm’s swimming facilities. 1 2
What happens next?
The interpellation also appears on the City Council agenda dated 21 September 2026. That agenda does not establish the meeting’s outcome. No later minutes outcome or investigation findings appear in the reviewed sources; these need checking before a new timetable can be stated. 1 2
