Matinkylä winter swimming spot

The Matinkylä winter swimming spot is located at the Matinkylä beach by the Waterfront Walkway.

The area has excellent transport connections. On the jetty, there is a wind shelter with a heated floor panel and heated steps leading into the water. A pump keeps the water circulating and the hole in the ice open.

There are heated changing rooms for men and women. Both changing rooms have their own entrance. You can request the door code by calling the Espoo info, tel. 09 816 21, open during weekdays between 8:30 -16:00. You can enter the locker rooms 24/7 with the door code.

Winter swimmers can use the parking areas next to the Matinkylä beach.

Winter swimming season starts 1 September 2025. The door codes work during 1 September 2025 - 30 May 2026. The changing rooms are closed during summer and are opened again on 1 September.
