The Azure Swimming Pool (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-ru) is one of the indoor swimming pools in the abandoned city of Pripyat,[1] Ukraine, which was affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
History
It was built in the 1970s and was used until 1998 (12 years after the Chernobyl disaster); during those 12 years the swimming pool was mainly used by the liquidators.[2] The swimming pool is considered one of the cleanest places of Pripyat.[3] Currently, the swimming pool and the adjacent indoor basketball court are abandoned.
