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.
