I am a Masters swimmer from USA. Are there any pools in Prague that are worth a visit for a workout?

I’ve swum at Hotel AXA which is easily accessible from city center, but unfortunately agree with comments that it was chaotic and hard to get a real sustained workout in. But works just to loosen up in the water
https://koupaliste-sarka.webnode.cz/, if you are visiting before the end of summer then this outdoor pool might be suitable, easy to reach by tram and a short walk, there is also a swimming area in the nearby lake.
When is the Masters event in Prague? Wondering as my sister is an international Masters sprinter.
Out of personal curiosity I went looking for the answer to Carol's question. I am always looking for an excuse to go someplace. I didn’t find the answer but I ran into this:
Budapest is set to reaffirm its status as one of the world’s premier hosts of major aquatic events as it prepares to welcome both the World Aquatics Championships and World Aquatics Masters Championships at the same time in June-July 2027. Showcasing Budapest's innovative spirit and access to world-class aquatics facilities, 2027 will mark the first time all elite and masters events at the world championships are held concurrently.
In 2024 the World Aquatics World Cup (or something like that) was held in Budapest and for that the city built all sorts of pools and support facilities. Gotta get some use out of them. This city does surprisingly well at attracting sporting events.
I frequent Slavia/Eden pool.. easy access, tram 22 from the center.
