Olympic Swimming Pool, Beijing, China
The building is a major landmark within the Beijing Olympic Park. It remains world-famous as the site where 25 world records were broken during the 2008 Summer Olympics. The Olympic warm-up pool (Huo Yingdong Hall) is open to the public year-round for lap swimming. The original competition pool is often kept for viewing only, but it still exists and was even used for curling events during the 2022 Winter Olympics.
