Swimming in Helsinki

Hey all!

I was just wondering how much swimming would cost in Helsinki, as I'm going there for an internship for 5 months next year.

No problem, you just go to the harbor and walk on the ice until you come to a ship lane, the ice breakers keep them clear.

Yes, yes and yes. :D

I would not mind having women there aswell. :wink:

But more seriously, that's a unique and legedary swimming pool in Finland - I don't know any other public one where everyone is naked.

But hey, as a poor stodent, that saves you from investing into swimming suits. :lol:
