The Lathbury Sports Complex swimming pool
The pool is equipped with a series of accessories that allowed it to respond without difficulty to the needs of the event, such as a movable bulkhead for simultaneously carrying out different activities in the water; a removable headwall to allow the overflow of water on all four sides and provide an ideal support for electronic time detection plates; a series of Myrtha Track Start starting blocks, with a structure that favors the swimmers’ set-up and optimizes their performance in the race.
