Had a summer swim in Velaatan uimaranta, in Velaatta -- north of Tampere and still within the borders of the city. This is also north of our summer cottage and easily accessible. A simple beach, with a small pier, sand, some rocks and grass growing on the water on the side. Nice swim for a nice day.
There's a basic toilet, changing room, and an area for beach volleyball. The beach is on the Velaatanjärvi, the Velaatta lake.
Official information from the Tampere pages about this beach is available here. Scroll to the last page within the list... Tampere has *many* swimming beaches :-)
