November/December 1995. The second edition of the World Short Course Championships has been disputed in Rio de Janeiro and the CBDA (Confederaçao Brasileira de Desportos Aquaticos) asked Myrtha Pools to build a swimming pool on Copacabana beach. Myrtha Technology was by that time very well-known, besides for the normal in-ground pools, also for the possibility to build large self-supporting pools for big sporting events, that can later be replaced elsewhere in classic and definitive way.
Two pools were installed on Copacabana beach, one for training, 25x17.40x1.22 m, and one for the competitions, 25x25x2 m. A concrete perimeter curb was designed, inserted under the beach level and covered with a thick layer of sand after the disassembly of the swimming pools.
Both realized with Stainless Steel Myrtha Technology, with overflow gutter on two sides, starting blocks, accessories for competitions, water filtration and disinfection systems. The show was a great success and ... four world records beaten in Myrtha pool!
After the competitions the swimming pools were dismantled and definitively rebuilt in other places: in this case three swimming pools with other shapes and dimensions were reassembled.
