There are around twenty winter swimming spots in Helsinki. The winter swimming spots are run by winter swimming clubs and companies to whom the city has leased the swimming spots. The city itself does not maintain the winter swimming spots.
Winter swimming spots vary in their services, and some also have a sauna available in addition to swimming. At its most basic form, a winter swimming spot includes a warm changing area, an opening in the ice, and stairs leading to the opening.
The use of a winter swimming spot requires club membership at several of these spots. Some winter swimming spots offer winter swimming with a single entry ticket, which means you can go swimming there without a membership.
