Making A Splash At The London Aquatics Centre
New Business Development Manager At TWP Total Water
Products Limited are pleased to announce the appointment of Mark
For the first time since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games the public are now able to make a splash in the same swimming pools as some of Great Britain’s greatest athletes. The iconic London Aquatics Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park opened its doors on Saturday 1 March 2014. Designed by internationally renowned architect, Zaha Hadid, the London Aquatics Centre is one of the most recognisable venues from the Games with its unique wave like roof. The venue houses two 50 metre swimming pools. The Game’s competition pool is 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.
The venue, which is operated by Charitable Social Enterprise, GLL, will play host to a variety of activities. Swimming sessions will cost as little as £3.50, the same as a swim in any other local pool, there will be swimming and diving lessons, and inclusive community sessions. The venue also features the innovative ‘Poolpod’ lift mechanism for people who require mobility assistance. In addition to community swimming, the Aquatics Centre 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. Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “After a post- Olympic makeover, London’s majestic aquatics centre is now flinging open its doors for everyone to enjoy, whether an elite
athlete or enthusiastic amateur.” Dennis Hone, Chief Executive 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.” Peter Bundey, Deputy
Managing Director GLL, said: “As a charitable social enterprise, GLL are proud to be operating the London Aquatics Centre. The venue is now ready to become one of the best aquatics facilities in the world.
