The renovation of the swimming
pool also included installation of upto-date
communications, scorekeeping
and control facilities and of
the necessary engineering equipment.
The commentator booths had lamps
mounted on their roofs and publicaddress
speakers were put up around
the perimeter of the stands. The
scoreboard was replaced.
The pool was improved for the use
in the post-Games period: three wading
pools for children under the
stands were modernised. The pools,
25 by 6 metres each, now have a
separate lobby. They were not used
during the Games.
The replanning of the rooms to
57
accommodate the needs of the media,
judges, and officials during the Games
was achieved using lightweight sectional
partitions. They made the job of
replanning the rooms after the Games
much easier. Now the services of
the swimming pool are located
there.
The modernisation of the swimming
pool resulted not only in making
the water polo competitions a success,
but also in improving conditions
for its operation in post-Olympic
period for sports and general fitness
programmes. The renovation of the
wading pools intended for children
made it possible to train them separately
from adults.
