I have seen the pool design on tv, in the game when Mr Phelps won his gold medels, and the T.V. show “Beijing’s Olympic Swimming Pool”. I love it. Is it going to be open to the public after the Games? Im pretty sure people from around the world would want to swim there. inculding me!!!!

it’s a brilliant design, with loads of structural detailing done!!
it’s simply fabulous!
all i wonder is could this structure be possible on the principles of tensigrity
it would definately reduce the self weight of the structure tremendously
and would also take care of siesmic shocks

I think its an amazinggg piece of work, as well as emazing effort in the structure of the building.
Looking forward to see it opening :)

yes all, it is amazing. a mega structure.15,000 people inside. it makes it’s own heat and cooling systems automaticaly. it’s all in the covering, the skin. fairly amazing. i hope many world records are acheived in this pool without influence. looks very much like our friendly neighbours have acheived a way of attracting attention for a long time to come. if i need a pool hall built , i know where to start asking quetions….!!!!!

This is a very cool design. Makes you want to go swimming. At least from the outside!

For all of you with questions about the chlorine—-

For sanitation, it will use very little chlorine. Instead, it will rely on a combination of filtration types: zeolite, course sand, aeration, high capacity UV disinfection and only a small amount of chlorine for residual.

This should do a good job of removing environmental toxins such as silver, mercury, cobalt and arsenic. A good idea given environmental toxicity concerns. The UV will be a treat for U.S. swimmers as it does not have the reactivity of chlorine with ammonias and various human organic substances that form trihalomethanes and other respiratory irritants. In closed natatoriums that problem tends to be compounded. So, the system they have used should do the trick.
