@@gailwaters814 Right with most things but not with this. This gets used all around the world in different venues all throughout the year. Eventually someday when pieces of it aren't fit for service anymore they'll be discarded, sure. But this wasn't only used once.
When I was a kid back in the 1970s, a neighbor of my grandmother had a 4' above ground pool that held maybe 7000 gallons. Everyone in that area were on well water because the water company hadn't installed water lines or sewer lines yet. But they had friends that worked for the fire department and it took about 1 hour to fill the pool. The truck showed up, ran a fire hose to the pool and unloaded the entire load in a couple of minutes and that filled it up about half way. They then drove over the hill about 10 miles away to refill at the nearest hydrant and returned and finished it off. I remember that because as a single digit year old boy I thought that was cool. BTW, they only in the past few years installed city water and sewer in that area.

I tried and still cant imagine the cost of doing this. All the equipment and workers just to build a pool. Check local venues or colleges first. Rent it.

The U.S. Olympic Trials draw 10,000-plus crowds for every session, as well as extensive coverage on broadcast television. No purpose-built swim facility can accommodate those crowds or those TV cameras; since most competitive swim venues these days are indoors, a temporary expansion isn’t feasible. There are outdoor pools that could have grandstands built around them, but building an arena around a pool is not going to cost less than building a pool inside an arena. Even then, the arena has the advantages of being climate-controlled and protected from the elements, a significant consideration when the Olympic Trials are held in mid-summer. TL:DR: Whatever the cost, building a pool in an arena is more practical than the alternatives.

For the past four Olympic Trials (2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016), and the soon-to-be 2021 Olympic trials, have all been competed in temporary pools. The 2004 trials in Long Beach were competed in a temporary pool built on top of a parking lot. Cool fact: USA Swimming sells these pools after the trials; the 2008 trials pool was sold to a location in Richmond, VA where my kids have swam in meets; fun to say you have swam in the same pool as Olympians, specifically Michael Phelps.
@@derekashworth5884 another person commented that it took 2 weeks. I did not count the number of times the sunlight sweeps across the screen, as that would tell you the number of day changes. However I did notice many of those light transitions, so two weeks sounds about right to me. The meet is about a week long, so setup is definitely longer than the competition itself.
Where I live, there was a similar project for making a pool for some competition or whatever. Easy montage panel, temporary pool only in the open. 40 years later it is the only pool in town. Obviously the term temporary doesnt have the same meaning in poor countries.
This is a very nice pool. But Wasn’t there any other already built pool available in the USA ? So much money spent for something that we wouldn’t even remember unless this video was shown
Because most pools aren't large enough to have Olympic swim meets in , if one would be specially built in it's own permanent location it would not only be extremely expensive but also it wouldn't get used often cause they only would use it once or twice out of the year.

They're planning for 60% capacity or 7,800 per session, which is still larger than any existing venue. They've held the US Olympic trials here in 2008, 2012, 2016 and this year.

Its cheaper to bring the pool to a large stadium then build a whole new stadium for the pool . The stadium itself is substantially more expensive then the pool to build .
@@jsmith1746 There are no US swim venues that seat 16,000. Both the LA and Atlanta swim stadiums reduced their seating after the games were over and neither can be expanded because of building or redevelopment.
