What will make the Paris 2024 Olympic swimming pool fast or slow?

Category: Sports

Olympic swimming events in Paris 2024 will take place in a temporary venue at La Défense Arena, featuring two 50m pools. The design aims to enhance spectator experience and potentially lead to record-breaking performances. Factors such as pool depth, temperature, and wave absorption are crucial for swimmer speed, with some concerns about the shallower pool depth of 2.30m. However, athletes like Léon Marchand express confidence in the pool's quality, suggesting it could yield fast times and new records.
