Swimming stadium in České Budějovice, Swimming center in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.

The Swimming Stadium in České Budějovice is a functionalist building on Sokolský Island, completed in 1971. Its oval pool hall is covered by a cable roof shaped as a hyperbolic paraboloid with a span of 54 by 64 metres, formed by perpendicular cables spaced 100 cm apart and anchored to perimeter reinforced concrete arches. A single-storey wing houses a children's pool, changing rooms, showers, a buffet and technical facilities.

South Bohemian architect Bohumil Böhm won the 1958 competition with a design that set the building into the historic fabric of České Budějovice. Construction ran from 1965 to 1971 and cost 31.5 million Kčs. A reconstruction in 1996–1997 cost 183 million CZK and added a 69-metre indoor water slide; the large pool was retiled in 2016.

The stadium was declared a cultural monument in 2017, the same year its architect Bohumil Böhm (1926–2004) is credited in the nomination. Its name is often given with the sculpture Odpočívající plavec (Resting Swimmer), which visitors pass on the grounds. The cable roof and tiled pool from the 2016 renovation are the features most often pointed out.

The facility is accessible daily and offers different areas designed for training and recreational swimming purposes. Visitors should know that hours and conditions may vary depending on the season and local events.

The cable roof over the pool hall is a hyperbolic paraboloid spanning 54 by 64 metres, formed by a grid of perpendicular load-bearing and tensioning cables set 100 cm apart and anchored to perimeter reinforced-concrete arches. Architect Bohumil Böhm won the 1958 competition for this design.
