The temporary open arena for water polo with a spectator capacity of 3,500 was built nearby, using its service and support systems.^{[citation needed]}

Construction

The Aquatic Sports Palace was built between September 2009 and October 2012. With an investment of $115 million (€90 million approximately),[2] the design and construction was awarded by tender to a consortium of British and Russian firms specializing in architecture and engineering: SPEECH Tchoban & Kuznetsov, an architectural and design studio based in Moscow with experience in Russia and Germany, Ove Arup, a British company designers of the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing and PSO Kazan ООО, a Russian design and construction company established in the Republic of Tatarstan.[3] Taking into account the venue's proximity to the Kazanka River, the building's exterior and footprint were designed to resemble a wave traveling towards the river.[1]

Technical features

The capacity of the venue is for 3,715 spectators, including press booths and seats in the VIP area with special folding stands for athletes, which can increase capacity to 4,185 people.[4] It is equipped with trampolines and a platform.

The building consists of three pools:

• Diving – 33.3×25 m pool (allowable operating depth is 5.5 m)
• Synchronized swimming – 50×25 m (maximum operating depth is 3.0 m)
• Training – 50×25 m (practicing pool depth is 2.2 m)

The three pools are situated end-to-end, making the Palace one of the world's longest swimming venues with 187 metres of uninterrupted pool deck length.[1]
