Paris Aquatic Centre
The Paris Olympic Aquatic Centre (French: Centre aquatique olympique) is a future aquatic centre located in Saint-Denis, France that will host aquatic sporting events as part of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Located in the heart of the Plaine Saulnier, facing the Stade de France which it will be connected to by a footbridge spanning the A1 autoroute, it will house the diving, water polo, and artistic swimming competitions. It is being built under the management of the Métropole du Grand Paris. History
As early as 2005, Aubervilliers was solicited for a redevelopment project related to the Paris 2012 Olympic Games bid on the site of the Fort d'Aubervilliers. Comprising five pools, including an outdoor one, it was to accommodate 15,000 spectators on removable stands. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games bid relaunched the project. In June 2016, the public interest group in charge of the Paris 2024 bid decided to locate the Olympic aquatic centre in Saint-Denis on a site then occupied by Engie's research centre, located west of the Stade de France, separated from it by the Avenue du Président-Wilson. The project was launched in March 2017. In June 2017, the future aquatic centre was officially named the Olympic Aquatic Centre. The first stone was laid on 19 December 2017 in the presence of the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron. As of October 2022, construction was underway. Description 

The Olympic Aquatic Centre will have a capacity of 6,000 during the Olympics, which will then be reduced to 2,500. It will be built on the site of the former research centre of Engie, in the Plaine Saint-Denis neighbourhood, west of the Stade de France. It will be connected to the stadium by a footbridge spanning the A1 autoroute. The centre will have two 50-metre pools, one of which will be covered and the other open-air, as well as a diving pool and a water polo pool. It will also have a spa and fitness area. After the Games, the centre will be used for high-level training, as well as for regional and national competitions. It will also be open to the general public.The centre is being built under the management of the Métropole du Grand Paris." See also
