Olympic Aquatics Centre


The Olympic Aquatic centre is situated in Stratford, London; it is one of the main venues in the London Olympic park. It was used in both events Paralympics and Olympics. The venue could host 17,500 people and it has two main 50m swimming pools and a 25m diving pool. It was designed by Zaha Hadid the famous British-Iraqi architect that also designed the Bridge Pavilion in Zaragoza, Spain. It was finished by late 2011 and was started in mid-2008. It costed 269 million pounds to construct and is now a part of the community. The pool will be converted into a leisure centre and a wave pool. The wings will be taken off and the capacity will shrink to 2,500.
