ABOUT THE WATER POLO AREA


Construction started in spring 2011 and is expected to be completed in time for test events before the 2012 Games.
DURING THE GAMES

The Water Polo Arena will host both the men’s and women’s Water Polo competitions during the Olympic Games. It will contain a warm-up pool and a competition pool.
The Aquatics Centre and Water Polo Arena will be adjacent to each other in one of the most compact areas of the Olympic Park. To make the best use of the space available, some back-of-house facilities, such as space for broadcasters, catering and security will be shared between the two venues so they run as efficiently as possible.
AFTER THE GAMES

The Water Polo Arena will be taken down after the Games. Elements of the venue are expected to be reused or relocated elsewhere in the UK.
