splash in the same swimming pools as some
of Great Britain’s greatest athletes at London
Aquatics Centre.
For the first time since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the iconic London Aquatics Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has opened its doors to the public, costing as little as £3.50 per swim.
The Games time competition pool at the centre is now available for lane and fitness swimming and a 50 metre training pool is available for family sessions, fun sessions with inflatables and swimming lessons.
There is also a 25 metre diving pool with boards and platforms up to 10 metres, a dry diving zone, a state-of-the-art 50 station gym and café.
Dennis Hone, chief executive of London Legacy Development Corporation said: “This is an exciting moment in the legacy of the Games. The iconic London Aquatics Centre with its unique design will now be open for the public to enjoy. We promised the former Olympic and Paralympic venues would have long-term legacy use and we have delivered. Now local communities and visitors alike can come and swim in this amazing new venue.”
In addition to community swimming, the Aquatics Centre, which is operated by GLL, will host a range of national and international events including the FINA/NVC 2014 World Diving Series in April, the 2016 European Swimming Championships and is the new home of British Diving.
