Sports for children and young people

The Riihimäki City Sports Center is organizing summer swimming schools at the Riihimäki outdoor swimming pool from 2 June to 24 July 2026. The swimming schools are intended for children from Riihimäki. This summer, the age limit for summer swimming schools is at least five years old, born in 2021.

Registration for summer swimming schools begins on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 8 a.m. and ends on May 15, 2026 at 10 p.m.
The price of swimming school is 34 €/child and the fee is paid after the first swimming school session at the swimming hall ticket office.
Swimming schools last nine days.
You can only register your child for one swimming school group. If your child gets a place from a reserve person, we will contact you no later than the end of the registration period and suggest a group for your child where there is space.
This summer we offer five different level groups. In the registration system you will find all the summer swimming schools and information about the group contents.
