The Board
Our sauna is mixt (with women and men) and we wear swimming suits.
Alcohol is not allowed in our sauna.
Penguins Video Surveillance
Video surveillance has been installed to protect both Penguins members, members' property and the association's buildings and property.
No one actively watches the videos, only the recordings are for the purpose of investigating what happened afterwards, only and only at the request of the authorities.
Inside the main door, on the ceiling, there is a visitor counter equipped with two cameras. This device does not record images, but only analyzes and calculates the number of visitors in real time based on the video images.
###############################
Vaasan Pingviinit ry. was founded in 1965.
The aim is to promote winter bath (“Polar bear”) as a hobby and connect people having this hobby.
With the help of the City of Vaasa we could build an own sauna, which is situated at the beautiful and central place on the island Hietasaari next to the swimming beach.
The sauna building was finished in 2024.
Penguins have never been more in Vaasa! We are now over 1300 members and we are happy to take new members at any time.
- The sauna is open every day between 10 – 22, on Thursdays between 10-23
- Please note that it is not allowed to consume alcohol in the sauna building or on our terrace. As well as it is not allowed to come to sauna under the influence of alcohol or other narcotics.
- Testing winter bath free is possible Wednesday-Saturday 10-18 if you come to our sauna with a member. Your visit has to be agreed with a member of board.
