Most people under 70 do understand English very well and speak it quite well (and so do many over 70, too). We start learning it as our first foreign language in school, and we watch/listen to a lot of American or English TV shows, radio, music, movies and so on. Movies and TV are not dubbed, but subtitled, so kids learn English fast and are often quite fluent in it. Swedes also travel a lot and practice English that way.

I don´t know what will happen in the whole country but many people in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, speak good English as a second language. When I was flying back to my country I was sitting next to a Swedish guy and I asked him why so many people could speak good English and he answered that films, serials, cartoons etc are not dubbed, but they are in their original version with subtitles. That´s why so many people are so familiar to the English language; they also study it as a second language at school.

Not as a first language for the most part, but most Swedes are basically proficient in English as a second language (at least, the recent generation)

According to Wikipedia, 85% of adult Swedes can converse in English.
