Certain groups are entitled to the free use of the indoor swimming pools, all sports hall gyms, and the Kuopio Hall running track area (subject to decision by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, Kela). For more information about the free use you can find here: Sports passes for people with disabilities or long-term illnesses – Kuopio
The wristband is personal, and you must have it with you when using the services. You must also be prepared to verify your identity and age.
