The Herning 2013 European pool part of a ‘green wave’
See svoem.dk (in Danish)
‘The European Short Course Championships are in every way a historic event in Denmark. The pools for the Championships are temporary and recycled from the London 2012 Olympics and the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona. After the European Championships, parts of the pools will once again be recycled – this time as an upgrade of the Herning swimming pool with a new 50 meter pool.’
