Same experience as the sibling, here in Antwerp. The swimming pool I sometimes go to is 4 euros (2 euros for people less than 25) and for 5 euros there's an open air heated swimming pool on Linkeroever.
Also this summer one could swim in the Bonaparte dock, in the old harbour in the city center.
I suck at swimming though, although I grew up on the Atlantic coast right next to the sea and bathed daily each summer. So I prefer shallow coasts rather than swimming pools.
- elric 2y agoI'm not sure which pool you're using, but Wezenberg is 5eur for adults, or 7.50 if you don't live in Antwerp. The cheaper pools (e.g. Plantin or Groenenhoek) are 4 or 6eur, and their opening hours are ridiculous (pretty much only open during office hours and a couple of hours during the weekend). Many municipalities don't even have a pool anymore, which forces people to use the pool in the nearest city and pay the higher prices. Some schools have stopped swimming classes entirely because of a lack of pools.
- seszett 2y agoPlantin is even open on Sundays, I find the opening hours acceptable. Wezenberg is 5 euros which isn't very expensive either for an Olympic swimming pool. But I don't go there. I'm sure other municipalities lack swimming pools (Say Mont-de-l'Enclus/Kluisberg) but I wouldn't make any generalising over all of Belgium.
