Westend winter swimming spot

There are heated changing rooms for men and women, divided by a partition wall.

The winter swimming wristband will be introduced at all winter swimming sites in Espoo from 1 September 2026. With the winter swimming wristband, you can use all city-maintained heated changing rooms at winter swimming sites. The winter swimming wristband costs 30 euros. The wristband is valid throughout the winter swimming season (from September to the end of May). You can download the product to the same wristband as the multi-visit products for indoor swimming pools and gyms. The new wristband costs 10 euros. You do not need to purchase a separate wristband if you already have a wristband for the multi-visits products for indoor swimming pools or gyms.

To use the changing rooms, you must purchase the wristband at a City of Espoo indoor swimming pool.

The lock of the changing room door opens with the winter swimming product downloaded to the wristband. The door lock is active between 5:00 and 24:00. From 1 September 2026, you can only enter the changing rooms with a wristband.

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 and ends 30 May. The changing rooms are closed during summer and are opened again on 1 September.
