An ambitious health strategy for the health town of Hafnarfjörður
Increased access to Hafnarfjörður's swimming pools is among the priorities in the recent Health Strategy for Hafnarfjörður and its action plan. One of the main objectives of Hafnarfjörður's health strategy is to nurture the general well-being of residents, both mental and physical, at all ages, and to strengthen and promote self-esteem and good mental health. Among other things, it is proposed to increase cooperation with voluntary organisations, professionals, enthusiasts and the health service for health promotion and well-being, and to increase the provision of information regarding services available in this area. A collaborative platform will be established for the relevant parties, with the participation of the Youth Council, the Elderly Council, the Advisory Council, the Newcomers' Council and the Neighbourhood Council, where, among other things, work will be carried out on protective factors against anxiety and distress. The health strategy supports the City of Hafnarfjörður's vision for the future of increasing the well-being of its residents through preventative measures. Hafnarfjörður is a great town for swimming, and many of the country's leading swimmers come from there, for example Hrafnhildur Lúthersdóttir and Örn Arnarson, who both swam for the Hafnarfjörður Swimming Club.
