 | | Forssa is a little town in the south west of Finland which was founded as a centre for cotton spinning by James Finlayson, a British industrialist, in the middle of the last century. |
 | | Like everywhere else in Finland, Forssa has suffered of late from the detrimental effects of the economic setback of the implosion of the former USSR. |
 | | For a start, as well as the standard 25m exercise pool with its diving boards, there are lots of different varieties of water to splash about in: a wave place, a water slide, a children's pond, Whirlpool baths, a therapy and teaching pool, and for the really hearty, a cool water pool. |
