SWIMMING

SPORTS

Swimming is healthy, and at BGS it’s lots of fun too! BGS has been swimming for almost twenty years now and it’s still a very successful activity. We now have over 60 people from about 16 nationalities regularly participating at the weekly training sessions.

Our swimmers can come to the Espadon pool in Etterbeek THREE TIMES EVERY WEEK for a solid portion of sports in a pleasant atmosphere. We swim on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

According to strength level, training focuses on technique, endurance, speed and time trials, or more basically, learning and improving basic techniques. A typical training session will be built around the following elements: a 200-600 m warm-up, followed by technical development/endurance training, to end with a 100 to 500m cool-down.

Our swimming group is part of the Ligue Francophone Belge de Natation as this allows us to participate in officially recognized tournaments, on a national and international level.

But we are certainly not only there for sprinters and competition animals! If you just want to swim to stay in shape, while spending time with a bunch of friendly people, you are more than welcome to join us as well!
