About the Neder-Over-Heembeek swimming pool

Located in the north of Brussels, the Neder-Over-Heembeek swimming pool offers both swimming and relaxation areas.
For swimming, the facility includes a 25-meter pool, a learning pool, modern showers, and a variety of classes such as swimming, aquagym, and aquabike.
For relaxation, the facility offers a summer solarium, a sauna and a hammam open to the public.

A cafeteria with a terrace allows visitors to enjoy a view of the pool while relaxing.
Although the pool does not have a paddling pool or a slide, it remains a suitable venue for various aquatic activities.

Built in 1986, the Neder-Over-Heembeek swimming pool is a municipal facility managed by the non-profit organisation Bains de Bruxelles.

Within the territory of the City of Brussels, three public swimming pools are available for swimming and aquatic activities: the Neder-Over-Heembeek swimming pool, the Laeken swimming pool, and the Central swimming pool.
