This year's summer seasons starts on 1 July. FLOW will offer you again the only outdoor swimming pool in Brussels for water pleasure and plenty of sports activities and cultural events. But FLOW wouldn't be FLOW if there wasn't also something new this year:
FLOW continues to evolve: In 2021 it came into being, in 2022 the Kiosk was added, since 2023 FLOW has been the first pool with biological water treatment in Brussels, and in 2024 the long-dreamed-of sauna is finally realised! We pragmatically call it FLOW CHAUD.
The sauna will be open several days a week during the summer in parallel with swimming, and then of course also in autumn and winter. During a sauna session of 80 minutes you can of course cool down in the swimming pool of FLOW.
▶︎ Reservations can be made via the general booking page of FLOW 2024. There you will also find additional information. Click here to get a glimpse of the sauna during the opening event in june.
FLOW CHAUD is only possible thanks to POOL IS COOL's collaboration with a wide range of partners: teachers and students of the International Master Programme IMA of UCLouvain - LOCI Brussels, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design - AHO and N.I. Non-Traditional Maker Practice with the experience of Oslo Badstuforening (Oslo Sauna Association) and FIX Brussels. The project could count on support from BOLT, HUUM, UCLouvain and all sauna lovers who participated in our 2022 JE VEUX NAGER crowdfunding campaign.
A conscious decision was made to heat the sauna electrically in order for FLOW to remain a pioneer in terms of sustainability too. The entire FLOW site, from the water filters to the sauna, is powered by locally generated green electricity, via energy platform Bolt. That energy is generated in Gougnies, Wallonia, by the Fabribeckers family's hydropower plant. ▶︎ Discover more about our partner BOLT!
Do you want to be able to splash around in the water on a hot summer day in Brussels? Would you like to get your swimsuit and spend the day in the water with your friends when the weather is nice? Are you looking for a safe place where you can swim with your family in the fresh air without spending hours on the road? FLOW makes it possible!

With its dimensions of 17 x 7 m, the outdoor pool on the canal in Anderlecht is the only outdoor swimming opportunity for everyone in Brussels. On the sun decks you can warm up after swimming, enjoy the atmosphere around the pool and get a cool drink from our kiosk. The swimming pool is open in the afternoon for everyone. You can book a time slot from 2 days in advance at the pool or online. Prior reservation is necessary to guarantee a pleasant and safe experience for all swimmers. Booking for our free swimming classes is now possible. Click here for all information about your swim at FLOW! If you have special needs, do not hesitate and get in touch with us via email.
FLOW is also much more than simply swimming! We have a full program with yoga, qi gong, and aquagym classes, morning swim, women* swimming slots and a varied program of music and art performances. You can experience this while swimming and in the evening. And new this year: FLOW CHAUD, the sauna!
