"Cherveno zname" swim complex in Sofia, Bulgaria was the biggest swimming venue on the Balkan peninsula.

It was built in 1985 to host the European Aquatics Championships.[1]

There were three indoor pools:

  • Olympic swimming pool (50m lane),
  • deep pool for diving and synchronized swimming,
  • children’s pool for beginners.[2]

Outdoor pools:

  • Olympic swimming pool (50 m lane),
  • deep pool for diving.

It was totally renovated in 2009 (costs: ~6mio Euros).[3]

Over the years it hosted many Bulgarian meets in swimming and synchronized swimming.

The swim complex was closed in 2015.[4]
