Did some surface pollution occur with the rainwater entering the harbor basin?

This can drift towards the sauna system. Therefore, check the surface before bathing!

If you observe an oil film, you should swim on the other side of the breakwater as the oil film can cause skin irritation.
The surface contamination will dissolve and disappear over time.

Kind regards
Holmestrand Municipality
