## What is Badeliv?

How good is the water, really? Badeliv shows measured water temperatures from over 2,500 swim spots across Norway, Sweden and Denmark — and always tells you whether a number is measured, forecast or estimated. Never fake data.

WHO WILL YOU CHALLENGE?

• Most dips, longest streak or coldest swim — create a challenge in seconds
• Share one code — no email, no passwords, no account needed
• Leaderboards with avatars, crowns and reactions to cheer with
• Only GPS-verified dips count — no cheating from the sofa
• Share the standings as a ready-made story card and pull more friends in

ICE BATHING — ALL WINTER

• Blue minus degrees and an honest "Ice bath" verdict when it matters
• The winter duel: coldest verified dip wins
• Breathing guide before you get in — calm breathing, never hyperventilation
• The afterdrop guide brings you back up safely
• Ice-bathing streaks, records and badges all season long

TODAY

• Fresh measurements from Yr/NRK (Norway), HaV (Sweden) and DMI (Denmark), each with its age
• Best swim hours today — water, air, sun, wind and UV combined, hour by hour
• The hour strip continues past midnight — night swims count too
• Official bathing-water quality for Swedish spots: EU classification and algae warnings
• Swim spots near you, favourites, and a home-screen widget

THE DIP — A RITUAL

• A big timer while you're in, GPS verification and optional photo proof
• Results with time, temperature and Apple Watch heart rate
• Share your dip, the standings and your log as ready-made story cards
• Measured with a thermometer? Share it anonymously with other swimmers

AN APP THAT LIVES WITH THE SEASONS

A summer meadow growing at the bottom of your screen, butterflies and birds on warm days, wet autumn leaves and raindrops running down the glass, frost and snow when ice-bathing season arrives. All drawn live — on your share cards too.

• Badevakt (Pro): switch it on before you swim, and your phone counts out loud while you're in, raising a siren alarm if you shout SOS. An extra safety net — never a guarantee: never swim alone.
• New SOS button while you swim: slide, countdown — and the app calls emergency services with your position ready.
• Tap a day in the log to see that dip: temperature, time in the water, pulse — and your proof photo. Open it full screen and save it to Photos.
• A new app icon, and six to choose from with Pro.
• Themes, celebrations when you earn a badge, and sharing your swim week.
