While all the community swimming pools seem to be closed during the summer, I realized that the parking-garage looking building on my way to work is actually a multi-function place, with not just parking but also an ice hockey arena, gym, cafeterias, nightclubs and restaurants... and a rooftop saunas and a pool. Very, very nice experience. Loved the sauna with a view.
Entrance to the sauna and pools is 10€. The pool is 16 meters long, and there's space for maybe 2 independent tracks, so not super big. But at a time when there isn't a lot of other people it works.
One-time entry to the gym is 17€, but for that there are also membership deals.
The official name of the site is Hype Hybridiareena or Hypeareena. More information on their web site here. Hypeareena is in Espoo's Kivenlahti area, coordinates N 60.156772 E 24.630485.

See also the articles about the nearby Kivenlahti and Laurinlahti beaches. A gym visit combined with a dip to the sea by the Kivenlahti Beach for instance is a very nice combo.
