06. Pripyat Swimming Pool

Just as iconic and as photographed as the fairground is the swimming pool. It’s a lovely structure and a joy to keep visiting.

What a lot of people don’t know about this place… It was the one building in Pripyat actually still in use by the workers well after the accident!

Here’s a photo of it in 1995 – 9 years after the disaster!
