Water Temperature in Brussels Canal River: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the river: Canal de Bruxelles

The Brussels Canal (Canal Bruxelles-Charleroi) is an artificial waterway that runs through the heart of Brussels, linking the city to the Charleroi Canal and ultimately to the Meuse River. While the canal is an important part of the city’s industrial and commercial infrastructure, it is not generally a location for recreational activities like swimming. The water temperature in the canal can vary throughout the year, with summer temperatures reaching up to 20°C (68°F) or higher. However, due to the canal's industrial nature and the presence of pollutants, swimming is strongly discouraged.

Although the canal provides picturesque views of the city and is used for boating and cycling paths along its banks, the water quality and safety regulations make it unsuitable for swimming. Efforts have been made to improve the water quality in the canal, but it is primarily used for transport and tourism, rather than as a recreational swimming spot. For those looking for safe swimming options, public pools or lakes in the surrounding areas would be more appropriate.
