Applying for a place in exercise groups
Online registration
Applications for guided groups and swimming schools offered by the city of Tampere's Sports Services are primarily submitted electronically. The groups open for browsing in the registration system a month before the start of the actual application period.
Online registration requires a valid email address so that you can receive confirmation of your registration and a link to pay the fee. You can check your registration on the My Registrations page of the registration system.
