The Rainier III Nautical Stadium
The Rainier III Nautical Stadium is a municipal sports complex on the Route de la Piscine in the La Condamine district of Monaco, in Port Hercules.[1]
Built in 1972, the stadium consists of a heated saltwater Olympic-size swimming pool, with 1, 3, 5, and 10m diving platforms, and a 45m slide. The pool is converted into a 1,000m2 ice rink from December to March.[1][2]
The pool gives its name to the "Swimming Pool chicane" (or "Piscene") at the annual Monaco Grand Prix.[2][3] The construction of the Nautical Stadium necessitated the biggest change to the Circuit de Monaco since its creation in the 1920s.[2]
