Reviews of Olympic swimming center Wezenberg
georgiaelle
A bit crowded, but with plenty of lanes...I only wish the hair dryers were a bit stronger — excellent for saving energy, but not ideal when you have long hair. Otherwise, a great place for a solid swim.
Barbara Kaminska
Great swimming pool, but it gets extremely busy. I feel lucky when there are fewer than seven swimmers per lane. Many swimmers lack any basic courtesy and common sense, e.g., fast freestyle swimmers enter the lane where everyone else is doing breaststroke and vice versa. Towards the end of the day, bathrooms tend to be quite dirty. I think most of the problems with the pool would be fixed if users...

The infrastructure has improved a lot. The water temperature is perfect now. Staff is friendly and helpful. When on vacation in Antwerp i love doing my swim workout here.
Alessandro Cella
Nice place, a bit too many people (avg 4 swimmers each lane). On Sundays both pools are available. It would be nice if on weekends they followed the full time schedule I.o. Closing at 13:00
Zabojeva Anna
Its a very good sport complex with classes for every age, gym and All-you-can-eat restaurant at the back of the building. Price for adults for swim is 4€/h (6€ for non resident)
