Have you heard that the swimmers in Greece will have to swim in a pool with no roof. The "jokers" in Greece, despite having 8 years to prepare for the games, have said that they do not have enough time to finish the roof on the Olympic pool.
It will be 104' approx in August at midday. The water will be too warm for fast times and the glare of the sun will make filming for TV difficult.
Apparently, they are looking at moving heats ( apt word for them ) to early morning or late evening, after the finals !
What effect will this have on results, especially for swimmers who are doing multiple events ( like Phelps ) ?

For example, the Atlanta Olympic pool was moved to Georgia Tech where it now serves a large population.
He was partially correct. Georgia Tech did have a temporary pool for water polo. Not all the aquatic events could be held at the same venue so a temporary pool was used. This pool was then moved to Florida.
