I'm really caught here: should I focus on the good or the bad?!…read more The good: historical setting for a swim - it's aged but it has character. Particularly the individual changing cabins along each side of the pool. The atmosphere is good and everything feels very relaxed. Price is incredibly good value, especially if you are an Ixelles resident. The people is about 25 meters (?) with the shallow end always closed off for kids, meaning the lanes are shorter. When the sun shines through the roof of this place it looks amazing. Pity more of the roof wasn't transparent. The bad: first and foremost - the opening hours. Not open ANY evening time except Mondays. As a consequence, Monday evening is absolutely packed and not much fun. How I wish they would offer even one more evening during the week...there's clearly huge demand for it. Also, although some lanes exist, they are not organised. Many times kids are free to play right in the middle of a lane with people doing speedy laps, and the lifeguards are oblivious despite being right there under their nose. Don't even think of finding the lanes divided by speed, just prey you don't find someone doing a lazy backcrawl in yours. Showers and changing rooms are ok - they are dated but if you consider the value of the place you can't really complain. I want to love this place, but given it's almost impossible for anyone with a day job to make it here during the week, that's proved tough. Still - the best option for swimming in the area. Possibly closing for renovations in the near future? Not sure.

It is a convenient public swimming pool with 4 lanes for swimmers and 1 big lane for children and…read morebathing. The pool itself could be cleaner, when you swim in the side lanes, you can often see dirty accumulated. feels like the 50s when you enter in this old style pool with the small cabins and metal roof.

Was kicked out of the cafeteria because did not order immediately…read more I was waiting for my family to finish swimming in the pool and have a lunch at that cafeteria. Many tables were free, but they did not allow me to wait. So, the cafeteria lost about € 60 in 30 minutes. And we will certainly not come back to this place. So, long-term income is also lost.

For non UCCLE residents, entrance costs 4,8 euros which is more expensive than other pools in Brussels. Good that it opens quite early during the weekends (7am). On the downside, lanes are not marked according to swimmers's level, which might cause some congestion in the lanes. Well connected to public transport (tram 92)

We visited the swimming pool in Sportcity Centre Sportif today. Although it looks nice, a toboggan…read moreis very friendly and good, a very basic need was not met for us. It is really cold there. I visited with two kids, 5 and 6 years old. They are very sportive, both of them are able and love to swim. Even when the weather is a bit cold. However, today, after 30 minutes they asked me to leave, they were shaking. And I have heard couple of other parents saying the same. All the kids had blue mouths. The monitor showed temperature of 28 degrees both for water and air. But apparently, it was not the case. I was highly disappointed as we go to swim with the kids almost every weekend, they stay in the pool usually around 2 hours and now I promised them that it is going to be great. And it was not. It was not crowded, however, I am sure that the reason parents do not come in a bigger number is a cold temperature.

A small pool, ideal for kids to learn to swim…read more The interior needs a but of work and they could empty the bins (and the baby's potty) every once in a while. The water is super warm and the staff and teachers are very nice so can't really fault it for the best place around for the kids to learn. A lick of paint and a bit of cleanliness are needed to get the extra stars.
