I've lived 25 years in Kauniainen, but today was the first time that I swam in our lake, the Gallträsk. A perfect, hot day for that.
A public park path goes around the Gallträsk, and there are a couple of piers, including one with stairs for swimmers. The lake is very shallow, I think the deepest point is 1.5 meters.
And now to my own sauna to celebrate the national sauna day. To celebrate the national broadcasting company will have several hours of live broadcast this evening.

On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
