Frequently asked questions

The Tampere Swimming Centre has a wristband system. The wristband is used to enter the swimming pool, the swimming hall and the gym, and the lockers can be easily locked with the wristband.

You can also buy a wristband for your own use

You can buy your own wristband for €10,35 which allows you to load a serial card for 10 visits or 360 days to the indoor swimming pool, swimming hall or gym. The serial wristband is also valid in other swimming pools in Tampere.

Wristband recharge

The wristband can be downloaded at the cash desks of all swimming pools and also electronically in the online shop of the sports services.

The €10,35 wristband fee cannot be paid with a sports benefit, but you can buy 10 visits or 360 days for your wristband with a sports benefit. The wristband is for personal use only and your ID may be checked at times.

The gym has its own changing rooms, so you can use the gym even without going to the pool. The customer has 15 minutes to change in the swimming pool changing room, return through the boom and go to the gym through the gym boom. Back to the swimming pool changing rooms the same way; the system can automatically check that the customer is returning from the gym.

If you wish, you can buy a serial wristband which can be loaded with both a gym session and a swimming pool serial ticket. At the entrance, you can choose whether you want to swim every time or just go to the gym. If you want to do both, the swimming and gym session are both charged to the wristband.
