The Copenhagen Harbour Baths are recreational bathing facilities along the city's waterfront, with four currently operating. The first and best known is at Islands Brygge. A first bath opened for the 2002 swimming season and moved to Fisketorvet. A larger permanent bath replaced it in 2003, designed by PLOT. The article also credits JDS Architects and Bjarke Ingels Group with the 2003 project. It names no client, style or materials.
Islands Brygge has five pools for 600 people, 7 meters (23 feet) deep. They are two children's pools, two 50-meter swimming pools and a diving pool with 3-meter and 5-meter springboards. Copencabana at Fisketorvet has three pools in 650 square meters. Svanemølle Beach opened on June 20, 2010 and Sluseholmen on December 16, 2011.
The baths are generally open daily during the season. Heavy rain can cause sewage overflow and temporary closures for a couple of days.
