Deeper swimming pools (diving) in Poland?

hello,
are there any deeper public swimming pools (3 to 5m) in west Poland, like such with a diving well?
The only one I could find is the big one in Poznan.
Most pools are really shallow, like 1,30m to 1,50m.
Are diving wells that unusual? :o

do you mean Zakrzówek?
that is a lake^^, and while it's deep (not 40m though, more like 20), swimming there is prohibited (people do it still ofc, accidents are frequent).

I was talking about a man-made public swimming pool that has a deep end or such, as is common in almost every country of the world.

I guess there just are none apart from 1 or 2 in the biggest cities.
Makes me wonder if all the professional athletes of Poland then have to reside in said cities, or they would never be able to train anywhere.

Professional athletes in Poland in things like Olympic sports are almost all attached to university teams, or well funded and established sports clubs in big cities. No-one is going to live in some small town as a professional athlete.
