Pool is cool: North Beach / Plage Nord / Noordstrand

The North beach with swimming in the fountain sea? It’s true and it’s happening in Boulevard Roi Albert II / Koning Albert II laan, in the Brussels’ North District. According to Pool is Cool, the organizers of this event, for one day people can swim in the fountain of the roundabout at the North Station! The street will be closed to become a beach with the bar and beach chairs. Water pleasure from lunch until dusk to show that urban swimming is fun and possible!

Pool is Cool is basically a project made by a group of “experts/citizens” who want to revive the outdoor swimming in Brussels. Namely, Brussels – the European capital, doesn’t offer to it’s citizens the possibility for swimming under the “blue” sky during hot days. There is not one open swimming pool in the city and people behind Pool is Cool are working on different projects which aim to inspire and show people how valuable the open air pool can be for the quality of city life.

Everyone is invited to come with friends and family to show their support for POOL IS COOL and outdoor swimming in Brussels! Check the Facebook event for more info.

Vous pouvez profiter d’une journée sur LA PLAGE NORD de Bruxelles!
Pour une journée, nous pouvons nager dans la fontaine du rond-point de la gare du Nord! La rue sera fermée pour devenir une plage avec bar et chaises de plage. Amusez-vous autour de l’eau du déjeuner au crépuscule pour montrer que la baignade urbaine est amusante et possible! Venez avec vos amis et votre famille pour montrer votre soutien pour POOL IS COOL et la baignade en plein air à Bruxelles.

Geniet van een dag op HET NOORDSTRAND van Brussel!
Voor één dag kunnen we zwemmen in de fontein van de rotonde bij het Noordstation! De straat zal worden afgesloten om een strand met bar en strandstoelen te worden. Plezier rond het water van lunch tot zonsondergang om te laten zien dat zwemmen in de stad leuk en mogelijk is! Kom met vrienden en familie om je steun te betuigen aan POOL IS COOL en onze vraag voor openluchtzwemmen in Brussel.
