The London 2012 aquatics centre has fallen behind schedule because of problems with heating.
To comply with swimming governing body Fina’s rules, the water temperature in the pool must be kept at 25-28C. The room temperature in the venue should be a couple of degrees higher.
And that’s where problems are currently happening.
The 17,500-capacity centre is an architectural masterpiece, but seemingly not very snug. Around 900 workers are now on site looking at solutions such as installing under-seat heating and pumping hot air around spectators’ legs.
The venue is now expected to be completed by the end of July, two months behind schedule.
