Matinkylä and Kivenlahti sit by the sea, Laaksolahti on the shore of Lake Pitkäjärvi. All three swim all year round: from the beach in summer, at the winter swimming spot in winter. You book online, an hour at a time: a seat in a shared session, or the whole sauna for your group.
The hour is sauna time. Arrive 15 minutes early to change, and take your time changing afterwards: the whole visit takes about 90 minutes.
