The swimming competition at the Atlanta, United States, which was built for the games. There were 762 competitors from 117 countries. This was the last Olympics where swimming B-finals were held.
At the time of the games, the facility had a temporary 50m warm-up pool located behind the locker rooms and entry concourse (on the ground); as well as a temporary roof, and open walls (there were wall-like structures/curtains at the diving well and turning end of the pool). The open walls allowed for temporary seating to be in place during the games. A wall and new roof have since been placed on the facility.
