A Swedish train station that was flooded after a heavy storm has been turned into a makeshift swimming pool, complete with inflatables.

Some residents turned the train station platforms into a water park with several people posting pictures on social media as others tried to make their way home through the water, according to Business Insider,

Unfortunately the party ended pretty quickly, with the emergency services hastily pumping the water from the station and returning it to normal.

Responding to pictures on social media, some people questioned the safety of the operation, remarking that bathers could possibly be at risk or disease or of being electrocuted. But another described the bathers as “absolute legends".

We can’t imagine such anarchy occurring in sensible Britain, but after such dry weather, we’re certainly jealous of all the rain!
