Valkeakoski. I knew this place mostly for the paper mill, but it is small city. And has a swimming hall! Since I was nearby, I wanted to try it.
First impressions were very nice, the building from outside is modern, there's some art next to it, and inside in the lobby I'm greeted by a diver guy... well done.
Inside there's a main pool, 25 meters and six lanes; a teaching pool and a shallow pool for the smallest kids. Two saunas on each side, sadly both sides appeared to have sauna water throwing champions in charge of the water injection to the heater :-) too hot.
