奥体游泳馆

The Guangdong Olympic Sports Center Swimming and Diving Hall stands inside the Olympic centre at 36 Daguang South Road, Tianhe District. It has 33,331 square metres of floor area and 4,584 fixed seats, and was the principal venue for swimming, diving and the swimming leg of the modern pentathlon at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. Inside are a standard competition pool, a diving pool and a training pool, with water temperature, water quality, lighting and timing equipment set to international competition standards; the stands are arranged in two tiers so that spectators can see both the pools and the diving platforms. After the Games the hall was designated a national training base for southern China, intended for winter training by national squads and for major events. The Olympic centre as a whole covers about one million square metres and contains the main stadium, this swimming and diving hall, the tennis centre, the archery range and the shooting hall; Metro Lines 4 and 21 serve the Huangcun area, and the venues share parking and spectator circulation. The hall is operated by the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center and is used for professional training, competition and public swimming, with subsidised tickets in summer. The centre was completed in 2001 for the 9th National Games and during the 2010 Asian Games and Asian Para Games hosted swimming and diving competition as well as ceremonies, establishing the venue cluster that exists today. Its position within the Olympic park means athletes can use the athletics track and other training facilities nearby. Enquiries: 020-32091627.
