Zagreb's popular swimming spots, Jarun and Bundek lakes, are prepared to welcome swimmers this summer after undergoing regular water quality assessments. Mayor Tomislav Tomašević confirmed that the water quality meets the necessary standards for the bathing season.

As far as I know, water quality analysis is conducted systematically and regularly. It is done so that the bathing season can be opened, and in that sense, the City Assembly has made a decision to open the bathing season in locations where the water quality is satisfactory.

"It is done so that the bathing season can be opened, and in that sense, the City Assembly has made a decision to open the bathing season in locations where the water quality is satisfactory." He noted that both Jarun and Bundek are open this year, with Bundek's opening marking an improvement from last year.

In addition to the established locations, good news emerges for the western part of Zagreb with the anticipated opening of a new public swimming pool in Špansko. This project, described as one of the largest sports initiatives in the western area, is nearing completion. "What is perhaps much more important for the public is that we expect the completion of works on the new city swimming pool in Špansko already during this month," the mayor said.

Following technical inspections and obtaining a usage permit, the Špansko pool is slated to open its doors to the public in early July. "I hope that we will open the pool in Špansko at the beginning of July and that citizens will be able to use it during the summer. That was our goal from the very beginning of the project," Tomašević added. This new facility promises to provide a significant recreational resource for residents in that part of the city.
