Sadly, there’s only one really recommendable, modern swimming pool in Brno — the one located at Kraví hora, in quarter Masarykova čtvrt.

There is a 25 m long swimming pool with 6 separated tracks, a jacuzzi for 10 persons, steam and fountains.

Always check the number of avaible tracks in this table (empty place = empty track).

One hour costs CZK 70. It’s good to remember Czech words MUŽI (gentlemen) and ŽENY (ladies) to prevent yourself from entering bad showers.

It’s easy to park a car in front of the swimming pool, which is also easily reachable by a tram #4, departing from Česká st.

Other swimming facilities

When I lived in the eastern part of Brno I enjoyed the swimming pool in quarter Lesná. There’s no steam and the building is old, but the place is clean and nice. One hour costs CZK 50-60 and you also have to check the number of free tracks.

A stupid thing is you can not start swimming on 9:30 and quit the pool on 10:30 – the pool has to be empty on the 55th minute of every hour. Edit: according to reader Tomáš, you can enter anytime. And there is a sauna. Cool.

A brand new swimming pool is being constructed in quarter Kohoutovice. It will be opened sometime in 2010.
