Prague’s recent heatwave has prompted several swimming pools to open their doors a month earlier than usual, attracting eager swimmers to Biotop Radotín, Žluté Lázně, and Petynka pool.

While some social media comments suggest the water is still cold (ranging from 12°C to 20°C), the benefit of fewer crowds seems to outweigh the initial chill.

Petynka pool kicked off its season on May Day with several improvements, including a renovated 103-meter waterslide and a new parking system designed to ease congestion during peak hours.

Meanwhile, Biotop Radotín is operating only from noon to 6 pm. The full operation, including morning swimming, is planned from May 13th onwards.
