Found another Helsinki area swimming hall, again! Great! This time in Vihti, at the Vihti Swimming Hall. It is a 25-meter swimming pool and smaller kiddie pool, a part of the school building complex in Nummela.
I interviewed some of the other saunagoers and they appeared a bit negative about their hall, the old design and the small pool with just 25 meters and was it four or five tracks.
I thought the hall was quite nice. There were two saunas, so enough space. The saunas were well lit and not too dark, everything was clean and worked well, there weren't too many people so you got to swim with just 1 or at most 2 other people on the same track. The entrance fee is just 5 €. Overall, a happy experience!
There appears to be some kayaking activity going in the hall as well, judging from the kayaks stored by the pool. Nice.
The official city webpage for the hall is here. The wikipedia article is here. The Google Maps link is here. The hall was opened in 1978.
I recently found another for me new hall, the Siuntio Spa. Wonder how many more there can be?
