City Swimming Pool Gruž (Croatian: Gradski bazen u Gružu[1]) or Jug Swimming Pool is a swimming pool in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Together with Bazen Mladost in Zagreb, it was venue of the 2024 Men's European Water Polo Championship.

History

Gruž Swimming Pool was opened on 4 July 1961.[2] During the 1990s, the swimming pool got a temporary roof and in 2003 the actual retractable roof was installed.[2]

In 2019, reconstruction of the complex was announced.[3]
