The construction of an Olympic swimming pool in Mostar is progressing through its initial stages. The first phase, valued at approximately 12 million KM, is nearing completion with tasks such as waterproofing and building closure remaining. This phase experienced delays because the city had to fund the relocation of a school, a transformer station, and an association for parents of children with special needs.

Planning for the second phase, estimated to cost between 20 and 24 million KM, is underway. While a contractor has been selected, the signing of the contract is currently delayed by an ongoing appeals process. The total timeline for the project depends on consistent funding from the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports and municipal budgets, with officials projecting completion within two to three years if funds remain available.
