It is a small one. The pool is just 16.67 meters long. But there is another pool, the therapy pool. And that pool has a fireplace next to it. Cute!
There's also a small children's pool. On the saunas there's one regular sauna on both sides.
The therapy pool extension (picture above, by Padasjoen kunta) seems a bit like a late addition, but I did not find any information about the history of the swimming hall, except that it was built in 1972.
The swimming hall is in a non-typical swimming hall building, I think it is an apartment building with a swimming hall on the lowest floor. At first I was wondering if I had taken a wrong turn when I arrived here, before I saw the sign.
Overall a nice experience. A bit of too eager throwing-water-to-the-heater men in the sauna, but that happens :-)

On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel."
