Recreational sport: where to practice?

You decided to practice a recreational or maintenance sport to improve your health or simply relax, without participating in competitions? There are several possibilities, including:

• In a sports club:
  The club may ask you to demonstrate your physical fitness by producing a medical certificate and also to take a license.
• In a public or private association:
  For a simple membership without a license, a medical certificate attesting to the absence of a contraindication to the practice of discipline may be requested for insurance purposes.
• In terms of sports facilities (swimming pool, ice rink, health club, water sports center, etc.):
  These establishments must comply with specific safety standards and employ qualified staff.
• With a sports educator in individual or group sessions:
  The sports educator must be a graduate in order to be able to supervise activities for remuneration. They must have undergone training and possess a professional card in relation to the activity under supervision. Volunteer coaching, on the other hand, is not regulated.
