Warsaw offers several official bathing areas during the summer season. Swimming is recommended only in designated bathing sites where water quality is regularly tested by the sanitary authorities.
Swimming outside official bathing areas may be dangerous due to strong currents, poor water quality or lack of lifeguards.
