Tag: Bruxelles

I have taken up swimming in September last year and it has been the best exercise decision I have ever made. I swim in the morning before work and it puts me in a great mood (as my colleagues can attest).

So I decided to share my research on the pools in Brussels if anybody else wants to try the fantastic feeling I get after 30-45 minutes of swimming in the morning.

The first caveat is that there are no outside pool in the whole city of Brussels which is the most unfortunate thing when the weather is actually nice.

The second caveat is that i will be writing about public pools only as I have not found much information on the public pools apart from the Aspria gyms which has quiet a high membership fee and World Class gym but that one is not really for swimming, as far as i heard.

The third caveat is that for all the pools you will need a swimming cap as it is obligatory and for men you cannot wear boxers as speedos are obligatory.

The fourth caveat is that most of these pools have subscriptions that allows for cheaper fees when visiting the pools if you plan on doing it on recurrent basis so if that interests you, i left a link for the website of the pool for more information.
