Given the loaner car I have this weekend... I can extend my driving range beyond towing distance. Hence a visit to Lahti, for a Sunday evening swim at the Saksala swimming hall.
Quite a nice experience. I'm not sure if the hall is older and renovated or completely new, but it seems very modern except for lacking a therapy pool or a jacuzzi. There's a 25 meter main pool and a kiddie pool. In the saunas there's one sauna (maybe a tad hot for my taste) but no second sauna or steam room. Overall very nice, metal pools, everything's clean and new, building looks good, etc.
For more information, opening times, etc. see the home page for the hall in the Lahti website, here. See also the YouTube video. There's also a Wikipedia page here. As the Wikipedia page says, in Saksala there's in addition to the swimming pool a grocery store, pizzeria, barber and a grill kiosk.
