The pool building was erected on a
piled foundation. The framework of
the main hall is made of steel largespan
components. The roof consists
basically of two double-hinged arches,
inclined one against the other, with a
span of 120 metres. They support a
suspended saddle-shaped roof system.
The inclined arches rest on four high
supporting pillars of cast-in-situ reinforced
concrete based on the piled
foundation.

The suspended roof consists of
steel guy trusses with a maximum
span of 108 metres, covered with
shaped continuous steel sheet. An
efficient multilayer heat insulation and
a waterproof carpet were placed on
top.
After the Games of the XXII Olympiad,
the swimming pool is being used
for swimming competitions, diving
and water-polo events, as well as for
training and general fitness programmes.
A swimming school for children
of the Trudovye Reservy Sports Society
is functioning there, too.

Olympic pool were high.... I think that

to a high results achieved."
