The Tuusula swimming hall has been in renovations for a long time, a year? Now at the start of the summer 2026 it re-opened. Of course I had to visit!
Googling for it. And. yes, it did last for 14 months, as it started in April 2025 according to this article.
They repaired damages to the hall, and refurbished the saunas, washrooms, dressing rooms and the cafeteria. The hall is today in a very nice condition, it is pleasant to visit. Not that it was that bad earlier either, I didn't think there was major cause for concern.
My previous visit here was here (alt. link).
