A true symbol of innovation and sustainability

The venue will host the artistic swimming, diving, and water polo events during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Built on a former industrial wasteland, the facility will open its doors to the general public, providing a large-scale, sustainable sports complex for clubs, schools, and all residents of the Metropolis.
