Decided to drive to Lohja for a quick swim at the Neidonkeidas, the local public swimming hall.
Built in 1970s, it has stood the time quite well, and has also been modernized in 1998. It is located at the top of the sand ridge above Lohja, in a beautiful location. Next to it are a sports field, ice skating hall, walking and jogging paths, etc.
The swimming hall has 25-meter pool, therapy pool, jacuzzi, children's pool, small kid pool, and a deep pool with a jumping platform. And a water slide. There are several dressing rooms and saunas inside, and outside there's my favorite, a wood-fired sauna. It was wonderful, and a rare experience in community swimming halls! Open only on some days during the week, however.
But not only was it a great swimming hall and sauna experience, there was something for the astronomy and skiing enthusiasts: a telescope tower. And a pile of snow on a slope leading away from to the ice skating hall. I must return here soon!
More information about the swimming hall from the above link to the official web site, or from Wikipedia.
