Olimpijski Bazen Otoka (Olympic Pool)
Sarajevo's Olympic-size indoor pool in Otoka — a 50 m ten-lane pool plus a recreational pool, sauna and gym, open to the public daily.
The city's main swimming complex, opened in 2008 in the Otoka district of Novi Grad: a 50 × 25 m, ten-lane Olympic pool alongside a smaller recreational pool, a sauna and a fitness room. It's a practical, affordable place for a proper swim or a workout in the city, with a café, wardrobes and parking, and it's easy to reach by tram.
