Swimming is one of the most popular BGS sports activities.

Following many requests from our Brussels swimmers, in 1992 BGS was able to reserve pool-time exclusively for its members. We have two coaches, one for the medium-to-strong swimmers and the other for beginners.

We now have over 60 people from 14 nationalities who train twice a week in six dedicated lanes.

According to strength level, training focuses on technique, endurance, speed and time trials, or more basically, learning and improving basic techniques for all four strokes.

As for all our other activities, swimming focuses on two aspects, recreation and competition. Whichever objective you have in mind, training is usually divided as follows: a 200-600 m warm-up, technical development/endurance training followed by a 100 to 500m warm-down.

Our swimming group is part of the Belgian French Swimming League as this is necessary to obtain a license to participate in gay and lesbian competitive activities throughout Europe .
