Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall  - Introduction


Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall, which is located in the centre of Helsinki, was inaugurated on 4 June 1928. For decades it was the only public indoor pool in Finland. It was acquired by the City of Helsinki in 1967.

Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall is an impressive example of the 1920's classicism and it is an important building historically as well as architecturally. Over the decades the hall has retained its original appearance. After a thorough renovation which began in 1997, the hall was reopened to the public in October 1999.

There are separate pool hours for men and women. Swimming is allowed with or without swimming suit. Swimming with swimming suit has been allowed since September 2001.
