When the mercury rises, what better way to cool off than diving headfirst into a swimming pool? Looking for fun ideas for bored and restless children? Or are you simply wanting to exercise and shape up with this gentle yet effective sport? There are practically only upsides to this activity which combines physical exertion and fun. And the good news is that swimming pools or bathing areas are almost everywhere!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

H\u00e9lios \u2013 Charleroi<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

We might as well start with the most famous of the bunch! The pool where half of the population of Charleroi learned to swim, famous for its brutalist architecture (somewhat faded since the renovations), it is not, as many believe, an Olympic pool. It doesn\u2019t quite have the required 10 lanes. But this doesn\u2019t stop it from being the perfect place if you want to do 50-metre laps to improve your cardio and tone up your muscles. One major advantage: there is a paddling pool where tots can discover the pleasures of water in complete safety<\/p>\n
