For the pool to be "swimmable" they had to remove 15,000 temporary seats at the edges and cover the sides of the pool with windows. It seemingly works very well. I don't really like this architect very much for I find her designs a bit repetitive but the London Olympic pool is a majestic spectacle and I look forward to swimming it.
China on the other hand really dropped on their grand aquatics center. Gala to see England is more industrious.
SCAQ may challenge Great Britain's masters swimmers to a meet.
(Ooops! did i just say that? The keyboard may have been drinking here.)
From Dezeen:
In a statement released ahead of the centre's reopening on 1 March, mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "After a post-Olympic makeover, London’s majestic aquatics centre is now flinging open its doors for everyone to enjoy, whether an elite athlete or enthusiastic amateur."
