Center Parcs swim sessions

Does it seem like pre-booking swim sessions at Center Parcs is another pandemic measure that will stay? For us, swimming is the main reason we went and booking one three-hour slot per day is no good to us. Given that Friday evenings are 'turn up and swim', it doesn't seem like the booked sessions are there for covid-safety reasons (unless covid takes Friday evenings off..?)

I assume it's worked out nicely for CP as everyone will spend more money on activities if they can only use the pool morning or afternoon during their stay. It's already such an expensive break that I am incredibly irritated by them limiting the one 'free' activity like this and using covid as a convenient excuse.

Does anyone think it's likely they'll go back to free access to swimming or is that it now? I am sure some people prefer it as it will make the pool less busy which must be nice, but if I'm already spending so much, I want the freedom to swim whenever!

De Kempervennen is a great park. It even has a big indoor ski dome where you can have skiing and snowboarding lessons!

No need to worry about language barriers in Belgian or Dutch parks. All staff spoke multiple languages including perfect English. We have been to two Belgian parks and they were fantastic. Activities work out cheaper when you’re there too.
