The swimming complex and your plans

  • Check the address Puistotie 9–11 on the city's website.
  • Check opening hours and access to outdoor areas.
  • Do not expect the attractions of another water park.

Swimming and a walk around Kotka

The previous page presented Katariina as a place for recreation in the water. It is useful to preserve the choice between a pool visit and a broader city itinerary: swimming is followed by time to change and a convenient pickup point. Groups also wanting a museum or park need to plan those visits separately.

Uimala Katariina is a swimming complex; it does not promise the attractions of a large water park. Check municipal information for pool options, visiting times and children's rules. The exact address distinguishes it from other places named Katariina.

The venue's correct name

Kotka's municipal website lists the complex as Uimala Katariina. Use this name to find its address, opening times and rules. This helps distinguish the municipal pool from another leisure complex.

Uimala Katariina: planning a swimming complex visit

Katariina is Kotka's municipal swimming complex. Distinguish swimming training, family visits and pool relaxation from a large water-slide park. Check pool facilities, lane-use rules and opening dates with the City of Kotka.

Specify Uimala Katariina in the itinerary and the required entrance if one is stated in the visitor information. A walk around Kotka and a swimming-pool visit require separate time allowances: include changing, showering and the meeting point afterwards. It is best to discuss participants' ages and mobility needs in advance.
