read moreThe upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics edition will see Myrtha Pools participate in its sixth edition of the Games by playing a key role in the Olympic Aquatic Centre pool - offering a combination of high quality, innovative technology, and sustainability.
For the Paris Games, Myrtha Pools has installed 24 modular stainless steel pools, including three temporary and 21 permanent ones, which will be used for all Olympic aquatic disciplines.
Additionally, about 80% of the materials used in the Olympic pools will be reused after the event, including structural elements, accessories, and the water treatment system, which consists of filtration and chlorination.
The Olympic Aquatic Centre pool - the only permanent sports facility built for the Paris 2024 Games, along with the Climbing Wall in Le Bourget - will be used for diving, water polo, and synchronised swimming events.
It has been specially designed by Myrtha Pools/Piscine Castiglione’s engineering team to ensure maximum modularity for all disciplines and future uses. Made of stainless steel, the pool at 70 metres in length and 25 metres in width - is the largest of its kind in France and Europe.
Its two movable bridges, can be configured into five 25-metre pools, a single 50-metre pool, three smaller 25-metre pools, or a single 33-metre pool suitable for water polo.
Myrtha Pools’ continuous technological research in the field of sustainable modularity and long-term reuse of structures, even in the post-Olympic phase, has led to equipping a section of a 25 x 12.5-metre pool with a movable floor, allowing the depth of the pool to be adjusted.
For example, the floor can be raised to 1.30 metres for aquabike, to 1.50 metres for swimming lessons, or to two metres at the deepest point for swimming competitions. Essentially, it is like having ten pools in one. The pool floor is also distributed across different levels: instead of offering a single depth of five metres (which is required for diving), the depths are adapted according to the disciplines, thereby saving water, reducing heating, and facilitating management.
After the Games, the Olympic Aquatic Centre will become the largest training centre for diving in France, and in 2026, it will once again host the European Swimming Championships.
