British Swimming 2012 Olympic Trials

We went to the British Swimming qualification trials, held at the London 2012 Aquatics Centre in March. Managed to get front row seats, so had a great view!

 The Orbit and Main Stadium
 The diving boards and pool
 The fantastic view we had from the front row. The top two swimmers in each final qualified for hte British Olympic swim team.
 There are ten lanes here, which is apparently two more than usual. During the Olympics only the eight lanes in the middle will be used in order to decrease water movement and increase swim times.
