The new swimming pool at the Blocry sports centre opened its doors to the public in September 2024 !
It has a 50x25-metre Olympic-size pool that can be adjusted, with a movable floor and pontoon that allow the pool to be divided in two and its depth to be adjusted.
The facilities have been designed to save energy and reduce the use of chlorine, but also to offer optimal accessibility for all !
Practical information :
Hocaille bus stop approximately 100 metres away. Coach parking on Boulevard de Lauzelle.
Near the entrance, the car park has two parking spaces reserved for disabled people, two family spaces and a drop-off area large enough for minibuses. There are four additional reserved spaces in the car park.
Please note that the car park is often full and parking in the entire neighbourhood is limited to 2 hours with a parking disc.
When you are in the car park, the entrance is on the left side of the building, under the canopy.
The swimming pool is open every day except 25 December and 1 January. At certain times, the swimming pool operates in ‘relaxation’ mode with an inflatable course for children.
You can check the opening hours, relaxation area and other activities via the link https://csblocry.be/piscines/#horaires. This information is also displayed on the board in front of the building entrance.
The pool configuration is variable (25 metres or 50 metres) and you can check the number of lanes available for each time slot via this link.
The lockers are electronic and are locked using a code entered on a touch screen. A wristband can be requested at the cash desk to make it easier to use the lockers. Please do not hesitate to ask for one and to have its operation explained and demonstrated to you.
Assistance dogs are welcome and can wait for their owners in a cage at reception.
There are four large disabled cubicles equipped with seats with grab bars, one of which also has a large changing bench and four pool wheelchairs available. Personal belongings can be locked away in these cubicles.
There are two adapted communal changing rooms, also equipped with seats with grab bars.
The staff have been trained to assist people with special needs. There is always someone on hand to help you in the changing room, locker and shower areas.
