Westend winter swimming spot

There are heated changing rooms for men and women, divided by a partition wall. The codes for the locker room locks will change on September 1, 2025. The reason for the code change is vandalism to the locker rooms. 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.

Note! The lock and access control system for the changing room for winter swimmers at Westend will be changed in January 2026. The implementation of the pilot project for access control for the changing rooms at the winter swimming spot will begin in Westend during 1 January and 31 May 2026. Winter swimming customers must purchase a wristband from the City of Espoo's swimming pools onto which a free winter swimming pass will be loaded. The price of the wristband is €10.There is no need to purchase a separate wristband if you already own a swimming hall wristband. The purpose of the pilot project is to improve the use of the changing room and to improve customer safety. The aim is to introduce the access control system for all winter swimming spots by 1 September 2026.

There are no saunas, showers or toilets.

On the long 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.

Parking spaces are available along Kuninkaansatama.

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.
