Bejing Pool is "Fast" and Designed to Break Records.
Former Member
To promote the breaking of swimming world records, the Chinese have optimized their Water Cube pool for speed by: (1) Keeping the water at 80.6 degrees, the temperature considered optimal for swimmers; (2) pumping "microbubbles" into the pool to break the water's surface tension; (3) building the pool to a depth of 42.7 feet, which prevents water-temperature interference; and (4) introducing a ventilation system that whisks chlorine fumes off the surface of the water, allowing the athletes to breathe clean air. --outside.away.com
The pool is 42.7' deep :drown: ?
If this pool is 13 meters deep.....I need new glasses........
Looks like 3 to me.......
Is that a bulkhead at the far end separating the swimming from the diving or are they separate pools? I can see the diving well being 13m deep since they have a 10m platform.
