The Olympic Sports Centre - Aquatic Centre (Chinese: 奧林匹克體育中心-游泳館; Portuguese: Centro Desportivo Olímpico - Piscina Olímpica), formerly known as Macau Olympic Aquatic Centre (澳門奧林匹克游泳館, Piscina Olimpica de Macau), is an aquatic center in Taipa, Macau.
Inaugurated on March 28, 2003, the aquatic center covers a total area of 3,220 square metres (3,850 sq yd) and has a seating capacity of 1,500.[1] The Aquatic Centre includes a diving pool 25 meters by 25 meters (with an adjustable floor capable of reaching a maximum depth of 5 meters) and a 50m swimming pool with 10 lanes. Both facilities comply with the latest FINA standards and are eligible for holding international competitions. Water quality is maintained by a sophisticated sanitizing system using ozone, instead of chlorine.
