Georgia Tech Aquatic Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Georgia Tech Aquatic Center is part of the Georgia Tech campus. Constructed for the 1996 Summer Olympics, it featured competitions in swimming, synchronized swimming, diving, water polo, and the swimming segment of the modern pentathlon competition. The aquatics stadium had a capacity of 14,600 at the time. It also had a temporary pool for the water polo competitions seating 4,000.

After the games, it has been used as a recreational facility for Georgia Tech students and faculty. Initially an outdoor stadium with a roof to protect spectators and competitors from rain, the Aquatic Center was renovated between 2001 and 2003 to enclose the Center completely. The seating capacity was reduced to 2,000.
