The project is articulated by a system of garden through which the four pools are connected.

A flooded landscape planted with species typical of tropical wetlands provides separation of private and public spaces.

The program required a complex system of bathrooms and changing rooms for swimmers and the public, All this areas are beneath the aquatic gardens.

A set of courtyards below ground level give natural illumination to them and provide a meeting space and warm up area for competitors and swimers.
