The best swimming pools Bruxelles - Brussel

One of the oldest and most charming swimming pools in Brussels (1904) reopened in January 2017 after 8 months of work. The pool has been completely sealed and the filtering systems modernised. With its three balconies and 260 cabins, it expresses an irresistible charm for all generations. Not forgetting the Turkish baths, hammams, massage room and rest room, which have also been completely renovated. Another special feature is the unusual size of the pool (33 m x 13 m), an undeniable legacy of a less standardised past.

Freshly renovated, the Bains de Saint-Josse are one of the most beautiful swimming pools in Brussels. They date back to 1934, when Art Deco was in vogue. It's all there: the pure, geometric lines, vintage tiling, mosaics, high glass ceiling and 2-storey changing rooms... Before you even get in the water, you'll be stunned, and we don't know why, but swimming in such an environment makes the pool laps a little less difficult. Don't forget your swimming caps! PRM-accessible.

These vintage 1950s baths offer a spectacular setting. Curiously nestled on the third floor of the building in the heart of the Marolles district, with a breathtaking view over the Place du Jeu de balle, this 25-metre-long swimming pool is, in itself, a real piece of the city's history. Local residents used to come here to wash up. With its low entrance fee and old-fashioned look, it's sure to please anyone who loves an old-fashioned atmosphere. There are two other public swimming pools in Brussels, in Laeken and Neder-Over-Hembeek.
