I went for a sauna and swim in the Allas Seapool today. Late arrival, after 8pm... and they were already closing at 9pm.
And their sauna was broken, not heated hot enough. Oh well. I decided to go in anyway, and got a discount from the usual (rather steep) 12€ price.
What a wonderful visit though. The water in the pool was warm, while the wind was blazing and temperature was somewhere around 2-3 degrees... very nice, even if the few tens of meters walk to the pool was "interesting."
Another "interesting" situation was that apparently they had started a naked swim evenings for every Saturday, and I without knowing this I happened to be there on Saturday... not my thing and most other people also seemed to have bathing suits. But I'm glad people can swim naked if they want to.
