Swimming Pools in Serbia

One of the respectable and well known swimming rule from the Bill Sweetenham's Meet Philosophy  is "to find the adequate pool where the swimmer can expect to reach the best time".
In Serbia today exists more then 130 swimming pools. Regrettably, considering all circumstances that have been held here and in the wide region previous years, many of them need to be reconstructed or something have to be done to suspend  the further rugged ruin. And all because of the penury and neglect. The clubs will appreciate any support to protect and save their swim facilities. And, what should be done immediately: eventually just to change the ropes and plastic lanes, to procure the new pace clocks, training and record boards, start blocks, timing equipment, etc. That will be enough in the moment. And it should be the certain way for the new uprising of the Serbian Swimming potency.
Please, introduce some of the main pools and contact us via rasual@beotel.yu if you think that you can help. Then we'll make a next connection to the chives of these sport structures. Or just forward us somewhere... Our goal is to enable better conditions for all swimmers in Serbia... Our athletes and coaches will be thankful forever!
