Exercise facilities and courses of Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall
The third floor of Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall features a small swimming pool area used for holding courses. The pool is accessed via stairwell A.
On weekdays, we have activities such as water exercise and swimming schools provided by the City at the pool. At weekends, the pool is reserved for customers who have reserved the fourth-floor private sauna.
There are no separate dressing rooms at the pool, but the area features lockers operated with a PIN code, located in the corridor next to the pool. For this reason, the exercise courses held at the pool are not available to mixed-gender groups. The shower facilities are located on the third floor.
