In April, the age limit for the Sporttikortti benefit for Vantaa seniors will be lowered from 70 to 65. At the same time, the benefit will become subject to an annual charge of 50 euros. Sporttikortti is a personal sports benefit for the City of Vantaa's swimming halls and gyms.

Use of the Sporttikortti 70+ card will end by the end of August at the latest

You can get a Sporttikortti 70+ photocard with the current terms of use from Vantaa-Info until March 31, 2026. Sporttikortti 70+ users can use the card for free until August 31, 2026.

Please note that the validity of all Sporttikortti 70+ cards will be terminated at the end of August, regardless of the validity period marked on the card. If you wish to continue using the benefit after this, you will need to get the Sporttikortti 65+ benefit from the swimming hall’s counter.

You can apply for the Sporttikortti 65+ benefit starting from early April

The Sporttikortti 65+ benefit will be issued to people aged 65 and older starting from April 1, 2026, at the counters of swimming halls. You will need to bring an identity card along.

The Sporttikortti 65+ benefit is registered to the swimming hall and gym access card. You can buy a year of validity (€50) or 6 months of validity (€25) for the access card at a time. In addition, a fee of €5.50 will be charged for the swimming hall and gym access card. If the customer already has an access card, the fee will not be charged.

After loading the access card for the first time, you can extend the period of validity at the swimming hall’s counter or by using the online store (starting from April 1, 2026).

Sporttikortti allows you to swim and go to the gym at a low cost

With the Sporttikortti card, you can swim at the Hakunila, Tikkurila, Martinlaakso and Myyrmäki swimming halls without a separate fee on weekdays 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.

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. The instructions for applying for the right to an assistant will be updated by the end of January 2026 on the City of Vantaa’s website.
