Re: The PERFECT freediving pool(s)

Hmm, how cool would something like this be.
What about the following,
A 200m long pool with aquirium style viewing panels in the side so spectators can get a view of the athlete in action, thereafter youll have time lapse cameras with motion activated operation and angle adjustment to give the judges and spectators extra views on the competitor.
Static is done in a "pond" about 1.1m deep throughout with demarcated areas for athletes to compete also with video surveilance equipment angled toward the athlete for direct transmission to judges screens and big screen.
The deep pool can be a partially submerged silo style construction with the top 10m exposed and the bottom 70m dug into the excavated site. This area will be equiped with lighting and camera equipment taking both stills and video footage and the top 10m will be a concrete class construction.

All this will then be housed in a arena with a roof structure that can either be opened or closed depending on weather and the basic design of the building and interior will be inspired by flow and free feeling when in the water...

Hows that sound with that we could spend something like 10mil odd
