Women-only Swimming Time’s at Lippumäki Swimming Hall in Spring 2026
Three swimming times for women only will be organized at Lippumäki Swimming Hall in spring 2026 on Sundays 8 March, 12 April, and 17 May from 19:00 to 20:30.
Lippumäki Swimming Hall will offer three women’s swimming times in spring 2026. The first session will be held on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2026.
During the women-only swimming times, the pool facilities will be reserved exclusively for women and preschool-aged children. Preschool-aged boys may also participate in the sessions.
The men’s changing and washing facilities will remain available for men as usual. Other sports hall facilities will operate normally. The upstairs sports hall at Lippumäki Swimming Hall will be closed during the women’s swimming Times.
The purpose of the women’s swimming session trial is to gather information on whether a women-only swimming session provides women and girls with a safe and easily accessible opportunity to engage in aquatic exercise. The trial aims to encourage especially women and girls to take part in water-based physical activity. Even in early childhood, girls in daycare age tend to be less active than boys of the same age, and this difference in activity levels can be observed also later in life. For this reason, it is important to encourage girls and women through various opportunities for physical activity.
Feedback on the women’s swimming session trial will be collected through a survey.
