Kangasala swimming hall

Had to pick up the car from Kangasala, near Tampere, after the breakdown (alt.link). They had fixed it for mere 40€, though only a temporary fix: the heating system is now bypassed, so now heating in the rainy fall weather. But, on the positive side I managed to get a swim in a new place: the Kangasala swimming hall.

The swimming hall is quite nice. It is called "kuohu" or "sparkling". Nice name! 

Two saunas on each side, and altogether seven pools:

- main 25 meter pool

- jumping pool

- teaching pool

- kiddie pool

- cold plunge pool

- two therapy pools (they call them a multi-function pool and a waterfall pool)

The home page for the swimming hall is here. There's also a hotel called Kuohu as as well next to the swimming hall.

Back to the car: I managed well to get home, windows were easily clear. A visit to my local repair shop had them scrambling for spare parts for a proper fix. Let's see if that is even possible. And there's a looming deadline in a bit over a month of the next check-up, not sure I should invest in this car any extra money until I know what's ahead if it...
