With the Australian Open tennis now a distant memory, football season only moments away, and Formula 1 Grand Prix just around the corner, you would wonder whether Melbourne was in sport overdrive!Another major event? You bet... the 2007 FINA World Swimming Championships are just over a month away as our famous tennis stadium gets transformed into a "Skypool".
Using the same technology employed in the acclaimed Barcelona pool at the 10th FINA World Championships, the system uses free standing panels of hot galvanized steel. This fantastic technology, developed by the creative Spaniards, enables the pool to sit on the stadium’s floor without having to construct anything or “hammer a single nail”.
We can't wait to see it... Go Aussies!
