Prague's largest swimming centre, Podoli Swimming Pool Complex is located near the Vltava River in
Vysehrad, a ten minute tram ride from the city centre.
Podoli consists of one Olympic sized 50m indoor swimming pool, two outdoor swimming pools of 50m and 33m in length, plus a paddling pool for children.
The indoor pool is open all year round, as is the 33m outdoor pool, which is heated in the winter months. The 50m outdoor swimming pool is only open during the summer months.
The Podoli Swimming Pool Complex is worth a visit any time of the year, especially on a hot summers day. Naturally, it can get very crowded on sunny weekend days though!
From Prague's city centre the tram system is fast and efficient, and will get you out to Podoli very quickly.
In addition to the swimming pools, there is also a fitness centre, sauna and a cafe/restaurant.
