About this audio guide
This audio guide to Nordnes Park in Bergen goes down to the water's edge, to the public sea bath that opened at the tip of the peninsula in the summer of nineteen ten. It follows a century of swimming here, from wooden basins floating in the fjord and a sailcloth curtain between men and women to the concrete pool that replaced them. Listen from the railing above the pool, with the open sea on the other side.
