Conceived from sustainability principles, the Olympic Aquatic Stadium was officially opened on Friday (8), in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone. And the venue for the competitions of swimming and water polo in the Rio 2016 Games has begun drawing attention for the innovative ventilation system, which provides a considerable energy saving.
The City Hall, who oversaw the construction of the arena (with investments from the federal government), estimates that it would take 10,000 air conditioners to cool the site. However, about fifteen thousand small holes in the structure ensures air circulation and should provide mild temperatures for the spectators in the Olympic Bar Park during the Olympic and Paralympic competitions.
"In fact, blows a nice breeze here," he noted the president, Dilma Rousseff, attended the event, along with Mayor Eduardo Paes, the governor of Rio de Janeiro, Francisco Dornelles, and Carlos Nuzman, president of the Rio 2016 Committee.

The Olympic Aquatic Stadium has two pools, one for competition and one for training, each with a capacity of 3.7 million liters. The front seats are just 10 meters from the water. A special filter system adopted reduces by 25% the use of chemicals, and temperature regulation ensures temperature between 25 and 28 degrees, according to Fina's recommendations (Internaciona Swimming Federation).
