The Club

Joensuu Polar Bears (Joensuun Jääkarhut) is one of Finland's biggest winter swimming clubs with about 1000 members. The club is open and sauna is heated up every day of the year. If you want to enjoy the benefits of the centre year round please consider becoming a member.  

Joining the club

The membership fee is paid for a calendar year basis. If you want to join in the middle of the year, a reduced fee will be charged (see details below).

To join, please fill out a membership form. You can do it at the club, print the form from here, or use the web form (in Finnish only). The invoice will be emailed/mailed to you as soon as possible. After paying the invoice, take the receipt with you and ask for the annual badge from the janitor.
