- Before US Olympic swimmers head to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, they'll have to pass win during the Olympic trials at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The facility, normally host to the Indianapolis Colts' football games, had an 8.2 foot deep pool installed to hold over a million gallons of water for the event.
The trials run from June 15-23 while the Paris Olympic games will go from July 24 - August 11.

It's great. In reality, it's just a huge above ground pool, similar to those found in many backyards (Just more complex due to its size).
Very cool. Could have done without the terrible music though!😂
Where’s the drains?
How do they fill in the sides? Did they pour concrete into the pool? This is amazing!
Thanks. I'm impressed...
Couple a hundred dollars...
Any idea how much this cost?
I would imagine a few million dollars at least.
Omg That's wild.
Freaking awesome idea
What about the Diving competitions?
different location
so cool
Why!? There are plenty of pools around for this.
Seating capacity
Terrible music .... Why? cannot be as cost effective as an existing facility?
Because of the stands capacity. It was cheaper to build a temporary pool within a venue that can fit a lot of people than to increase the capacity of already existing swimming venue.
where is the funding coming from for all this?
Why do you care? Not from your pocket.

Is this really Lucas Oil Stadium? Is the pool permanent? I thought the DCI final on August 10 will be there.
It's not permanent. What they did was create an elevated platform so the pool itself is on the ground. So when the Olympic Swimming qualification stuff is over with, the pool with be dismantled and the stadium will be once again ready for other events. This honestly feels more like a test of what can be done.
If it can be manifested in a thought and believed, there's nothing a man can't achieve...
Created in the image of GOD!
What a waste of money
Who is paying for all of this?

Not likely coming out of your pocket so why the concern?
A combination of Indianapolis economic development funds, corporate sponsorships, US Olympic budget, etc. Infrastructure of all the pools have already been sold - they will be dismantled and shipped to other locations for permanent installs. Allows for over 20K spectators - have already broken records for highest attendance for any swimming event in history.
