Olof Åbom, a wholesaler, invested all his assets on the construction of a swimming school at Riddarholmen in Stockholm. The building was completed and inaugurated at Whitsun in 1827. Olof Åbom died in 1829 and his relatives and friends formed a jointstock company in memory of the founder of the swimming school. There were 100 share certificates in all signed by surviving relatives. The swimming school was situated in front of the "Assistans contorets" house No. 7 in the Riddarholm area. The site was leased for 25 years by Stockholms "Drätselcommission" (municipal finance department).
