Eilen kävin heittämässä talviturkin entisen Leppälän koulun uimarannalla #Valkeakoski ja #Mallasvesi oli niin kylmää, että pieni pulahdus veden alle riitti ja äkkiä portaita pitkin ylös laiturille. Samana päivänä juhannuslomalle ja matkustin ekan kerran moottoritien #Lahti -ohitustunnelien kautta

Entisen Leppälän koulun uimarannalla on kaksi pukukoppia, joista toisen seinällä on ilmoitustaulu. Ovettomassa kopissa suoran näkymän estää oikealla kapea ”eteinen”, mutta pukukopissa olijan jalat näkyvät, koska seinän alaossa puuttuu sisäänkäyntipuolelta.

Uimarannalla ei ole valvontaa, mutta käyttöohjeet ilmoitustaululla. Ohjeen mukaan pukukopin seinällä pitäisi olla pelastusrengas, mutta sitä ei näkynyt.

Uimarannan vesi oli tutkittu ja hyväksi havaittu 8.6.2026. Tutkintahetkellä veden lämpötila oli 15,6 celsiusta eikä se paljoa lämpimämpää ollut eilenkään ;-)
