Azure Swimming Pool

The Azure Swimming Pool (Ukrainian: Басейн Лазурний) is one of the indoor swimming pools in the abandoned city of Pripyat,[1][2] Ukraine, which was affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

The complex was built in the 1970s and remained in use until 1998 (12 years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster); during those 12 years the swimming pool was mainly used by Chernobyl liquidators.

[3] The swimming pool was considered to be one of the cleanest places in Pripyat.

[4] However, the swimming pool and the adjacent indoor basketball court have been abandoned and left to decay since its closure in 1998.
