Outdoor swimming pools in Brussels: an overview for 2025

If you are looking to enjoy the sun while swimming in Brussels, it is important to know that the capital does not offer permanent outdoor pools.
However, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on open-air swimming!

Here’s an overview of the available options for 2025.

Flow pool in Anderlecht: a chapter closed

Until 2024, Flow was Brussels’ only true outdoor swimming pool, temporarily installed along the canal in Anderlecht.
After four seasons of activity (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024), Flow permanently closed its doors at the end of May 2025.

Flow featured a 17 x 7 meter pool, accessible to all at affordable prices, and had successfully created a true meeting place and a convivial atmosphere in the heart of the capital.

Although Brussels lacks permanent outdoor pools, several indoor pools offer a solarium where you can relax outdoors after swimming. These spaces provide a pleasant alternative for sun lovers during the warmer months.
