The swimming hall facilities are on two separate floors. The first floor has the swimming pool, two electric saunas and changing rooms with lockers right next to the pool. The entrance fee to the first floor gives visitors access to the pool and the two electric saunas on the first floor. The time limit for a swimming hall visit is two hours. The depth of the pool is 0.9-3.4 metres. The pool has two lanes for swimmers and one for aqua joggers. You can borrow aqua jogging belts from the poolside. Only visitors who know how to swim are allowed to use the pool. The second floor has a wood-burning sauna, steam sauna, infrared sauna and a private sauna available for booking, as well as rest cabins with curtains that also serve as changing rooms. The rest cabin has a lockable drawer for valuables. Rest cabins also have a table and chairs in front of them, allowing you to order food and drinks from the café. There is a separate entrance fee for the second floor, which includes the rest cabin, a bathrobe, a towel and a sauna bench cover. This entrance fee gives you access to the facilities on both floors. The time limit for visiting the swimming hall is two hours; additional hours can be purchased for the second floor if the hall is not busy.
