Facility Reviews
The staff was very helpful, although they spoke no English. The pools were clean and the other swimmers were very considerate, though the pool was busy. A good experience at a good price.
There are no ropes or anti-turbulence lane dividers for thepublic swimming lanes. These are only used with swim clubs. So the pool gets very turbulent and you have to avoid other swimmers, who do not swim all in an ordered way. Very courteous swimmers generally, however.
This facility gets very crowded all day, at least in the summer. At 7 AM it is mostly serious swimmers, so it's easier to fit in and get a workout. Later in the day, the indoor pool is a ridiculous mix of people doing freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, floating, and kids splashing. To swim here you must keep your head up and look ahead and around to navigate the various people. The outdoor pool is an even-crazier jumble of people.

We swam here in the morning, between 9 and 11 AM. There were lane markers and a dedicated lane for open swim. The oldest swim team in Prague, The Bohemians, were training alongside us, but when they were done the coach said all lanes are open to public swim. Excellent facility. A real Prague gem.

This pool was awesome. I had to share my full-width, 50m lane with only two other swimmers. It has perfect air, water quality, and temperature, and it's reasonably priced.
Easy to get to; take the #17 tram from town for a straight-shot out to the pool. Highly recommend!
