www.malmsten.com ABOUT THE SPORTS COMPLEX

On 26 September 2015, the City of Cuneo inaugurated the New Swimming Stadium, a excellence structure for swimming at the international level.

The Swimming Stadium was built ex novo, and includes the new pool, input building system, and locker room.

Overall 6350 mq of new construction. Inside, it houses the new indoor pool with 8 lanes – 51,50 x 21 mt, depth from 1,20 mt to 2,30 mt – provided with two fixed heads and a draw-bridge, the tribune for the public with capacity until 616 persons, and and a cafeteria that overlooks the pool .

The stadium has multiple entrances, with different

levels.

In particular it is possible to access at the structure from one place in front of the urban elevator.

From this entrance you can reach the Desk of the Stadium with a spectacular staircase or by means of an elevator that guarantees accessibility.

The other entrances are normally accessible from parking areas.

The large windows overlooking the Alps gives this pool a unique light.

Over the last three years the Swimming Stadium of Cuneo hosted for two consecutive years the Italian Championships in Synchronized swimming, with ever sold out spectator stands. TIMING&SCORING
