Capacity: 11,500 (main pool), 6,200 (indoor pool), 5,300 (synchro pool)

Sports: Swimming (August 14-21), Diving (August 14, 16, 20-28), Water Polo (August 15-27, 29), Synchronised Swimming (August 23-27)

The Aquatic Centre, part of the Athens Olympic Sports Complex, hosts the swimming, water polo, synchronised swimming and diving in three different pools.

The plans for a roof over the main outdoor pool, where the swimming and water polo takes place, were scrapped in March and schedule tinkered with to avoid the worst of the blazing Athens sun.

Much to the divers' delight, they will now compete indoors.
