Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall

Local nameYrjönkadun uimahalli
LocationKamppi, Helsinki, Finland

The Yrjönkatu Swimming Hall is the first and oldest public indoor swimming pool in Finland. It was inaugurated on 4 June 1928, and it took a long time until a second indoor pool was opened in Finland. The pool is located in the Kamppi area of Helsinki at Yrjönkatu 21b, and is owned by the city of Helsinki.

The hall building was designed by architect Väinö Vähäkallio and represents the Nordic Classicism style. It was inspired by the Centralbadet swimming hall in Stockholm. The hall was originally privately owned, but was transferred to the Finnish Sports Federation in 1954 and to the city of Helsinki in 1967.
