The Sports Card is now a sports benefit for ages 65 and older – an affordable and easy way to go swimming and to the gym
Sports Card 65+ is a sports benefit for seniors, allowing you to go swimming and visit the gym easily and affordably. You can buy the benefit from the swimming halls in Vantaa.
All Vantaa residents and those living in Vantaa who are 65 and older can now get the Sports Card 65+ benefit.
With the Sports Card, you can swim at the Hakunila, Tikkurila, Martinlaakso and Myyrmäki swimming halls from Monday to Friday until 16:00, and at Korso Swimming Hall during all opening hours. In addition, the card gives you access to the Koivukylä Senior Citizens' Center gym during its opening hours.
The Sports Card 65+ benefit is registered to the swimming hall and gym access card. You will need to bring an identity card along.
You can buy a year of validity (€50) or 6 months of validity (€25) for the access card. In addition, a fee of €5.50 will be charged for the swimming hall and gym access card. If you already have an access card, the access card fee will not be charged.
You can buy time for your access card either from the swimming hall’s cashier or on the online store. You can shop at the online store after you have received the access card number and the PIN code from the cashier.
If you need an assistant at the gym or swimming hall due to health reasons or a weakened ability to function, you can apply for an assistant benefit. The benefit will be added to your customer information. You can find more information about the right to an assistant on the Sports Card website.
Use of Sports Card 70+ will end by the end of August at the latest
Sports Card 65+ will replace the Sports Card 70+ benefit that was previously granted to people over 70 years of age. The use of all valid Sports Card 70+ photo cards will end on August 31, 2026, regardless of the validity period marked on the card.
If you wish to continue using the benefit after this, you will need to buy the Sports Card 65+ benefit from the swimming hall’s cashier.
