Swimming Hall

The renovated pools have given the swimming pool a spa-like feel and the hall's accessibility for people with disabilities has been improved. New features include a large slide, a raised-bottom pool in connection with the on-site sauna, and an outdoor heated pool under a canopy with massage points.

Special facilities have been built on the pool level for people with disabilities and other special groups, which can be reserved in advance. All the equipment in the gym has been renewed.

The renovations have made the swimming pool more suitable for all visitors. Customer cards have been replaced with wristbands as our access control system has been renewed.

Riihimäki swimming hall is located on a scenic ridge next to the water tower at Salpausseläntie 16. A beautiful outdoor swimming pool is also open in the same location in the summer. We are only a little over a kilometer from Riihimäki railway station.

Information

  • The outdoor pool is temporarily out of use for safety reasons. In freezing temperatures, the water vapor rising from the pool creates such a dense fog that it is not possible to monitor the pool from the edge or with camera surveillance. It is not possible to see to the bottom of the pool, and it is not possible to distinguish customers sufficiently from the fog.
    In freezing conditions, the pool floor and walkways freeze despite the use of ice, as water splashing from the pool freezes on the surfaces. Even if heated mats are used on walkways, they do not eliminate the visibility and safety risks caused by water vapor.
    Customer safety is our top priority, and for this reason, the outdoor pool will be closed until conditions allow for its safe use.
    We aim to find solutions to problems together with the designers.

  • The cash register closes one hour before the swimming hall closes. Swimming and gym time ends half an hour before the hall closes.

    Changing rooms

    The locker doors in the changing rooms operate with access control wristbands. Customers primarily have access to large changing rooms.

    Saunas

    There is a larger hot sauna, a smaller warm sauna and a steam sauna in connection with the public washrooms.

    Sauna available for reservation at the pool floor  

    The space available on the pool floor is designed specifically for people with limited mobility, for whom the general changing room and sauna areas are difficult to use. The separate sauna area allows access to the pool area without having to go through the general changing room, washing room and sauna areas. The height of the sauna benches is adjustable.

    Saunas for reservation

    The saunas can be booked together or separately. When booked together, the rooms are connected by opening the door between the saunas. Sauna 1 is the larger of the saunas and includes a pool, kitchen and lounge area in addition to the sauna rooms. The sauna room can accommodate a maximum of 30 people. Sauna 2 is smaller in terms of sauna space and swimming takes place in the public pools of the swimming pool. The sauna is best suited as a sauna room for less than ten people. Both sauna rooms have only one dressing room, so if two dressing rooms are needed, both saunas must be booked.
