The outdoor 50m pool was built back in 1962 for the European Aquatics Championships, and it still has that old-school charm. Inside, things are more modern. There's a sleek 50m competition pool and a well-spec'd 25m short-course pool, both added in 1999 by architect Björn Thynberger. The venue has even hosted the FINA Swimming World Cup, and there is a sense of swimming prestige here.",[12,19,20],{},"I've purchased an all-access swim ticket. First up: the outdoor pool.

Weird looks expected!",[12,22,23],{},"The pool is set in a well-manicured park and flanked on one side by a sweeping grandstand that must easily seat a couple of thousand people!
