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.
