Such bliss. A quiet swimming pool, almost an empty sauna and showers... now we are visiting the Kauniainen (Grani) swimming hall. It is one of the oldest and most basic swimming halls in the areas around Helsinki. And it may be torn down; but for now it means low prices, quietness, and space.
Quite a difference to our other visit to a swimming pool.
Although I now have to say that at the beginning of our visit, the water gym session for the elderly was pretty loud :-) But as with kids, it is important that everyone can enjoy swimming. And the gym sessions are not just great exercise but also wonderful.
