History
Spa, a story of water…
and of generations

1922The Piscine Fleurie
In 1922, the Piscine Fleurie was born in Spa: an open-air pool surrounded by trees, a few wooden cabins, a diving board. People already came for the essentials — to swim, and above all to be together.

The 1960s
A municipal facility
The pool grew along with the town and became a true municipal facility. The pool was enlarged, lawns appeared, a slide and a paddling pool completed the ensemble. In summer, Spa lived to the rhythm of its pool.

The indoor poolSwimming all year round
Then came the indoor pool. People learned to swim there, trained there, season after season. The pool was no longer just a summer place: it became part of the daily life of the people of Spa.

The floods
In 2021, everything came to a brutal halt with the floods. But very quickly, one thing became clear: it was not just about rebuilding, but about reinventing.

Today
A reinvented pool
The Pool of Spa has taken on a new face: modern, bright and accessible facilities, pools suited to everyone and, from now on, an Olympic outdoor pool integrated into its surroundings. Deep down, nothing has changed: since 1922, people have come here to swim, to relax… and to share a moment together.
The Piscine Fleurie in pictures
You only have to look at these images to understand: in Spa, the relationship with water is nothing new. Long before today's facilities, long before the modern pools, there was already, in the heart of the town, a place where people came to swim, to meet and to enjoy the summer.
From the Piscine Fleurie to today's facilities, the Pool of Spa tells a simple and powerful story: that of a place which, generation after generation, accompanies the lives of its residents. A place where water is not just an element… but a common thread.
