Olimpic Pool

Swimming pools offered for competition or training purposes worldwide are called Olympic swimming pools. They are pools built in accordance with “FINA” standards for national and international competitions.

Filtration and disinfection installation in Olympic swimming pools should be done in accordance with TS13661 standards. In order to hold an international competition, pool sizes, material and equipment brands to be used must comply with FINA rules. National and international competitions are not allowed in pools that do not comply with FINA rules.

Freestyle, breaststroke, back swimming competitions, synchronized swimming, flag, water polo competitions can be held in Olympic swimming pools. Jumping platforms in Olympic pools are manufactured as 40 cm 70 cm according to the way the pool short edge is built. Olympic pools are often training outside of sports, Since it is also used by non-athletes for rest and swimming purposes, a raft of at least 10 cm wide should be made 120 cm below the water upper jeans during dish construction.

The standard size between the lans is 2.5 meters. It is separated from each other by the between-header handy separators. The ear separators must comply with the standards set by FINA with a breakwater feature that reduces the waves formed by the swimmers. Otherwise, the wave formed by one swimmer negatively affects the swim speed of the swimmer in the other lane.

Olympic swimming pools should be at least 2.0 meters deep. But if it is to be considered to hold water polo competitions and synchronization competitions other than its use for competition purposes in the pool, the pool depth should be 3 meters.
