Pool Build
The build of the FINA World Swimming Championship pool in the M.E.N. Arena has now begun.
Work began 18th March and is scheduled to be completed by 4th April 2008. Watch the progress live here!
The main pool will be a competition standard pool where the action will take place with 7500 spectators. A second pool will be behind a curtain, invisible to the general public and will be for athletes to warm up before they race and swim down afterwards.
AstralPool are the company behind the pools' construction and United Utilities are assisting with the supply and removal of water.
The World Swimming Championships are from 9th-13th April 2008. Got your tickets for this exciting event yet?
