In my quest for swimming at different places, I ended up this time in Loviisa. They don't have a proper swimming hall, but they do have a small swimming pool at the Esplanad, a service house / elderly care home. It is open for the public a few hours on four days during the week. The pool is only 16 meters long, however, and quite shallow from one end, so not easy to swim.
But a nice visit, nevertheless. Some hot sauna and nice pool to dip is never a bad idea :-)

I also visited the stairs to one of the artificial dirt mountains, the one in Malminkartano, Malminkartanonhuippu. Wonderful hiking up, and wonderful views in the darkness:
