Starting from June 20, residents will have the chance to swim at the Water Cube  (the National Aquatics Center) for two hours on afternoons between Thursday  and Sunday.

The warm-up swimming pool is two meters deep. Residents who come to swim will need to bring their medical checkup card and a certificate for swimming in deep water. The medical checkup card must be issued by specialized medical institutions conducting professional inspection. The card needs to be stamped with the seal from the medical institutions. A one-time medical checkup card can also be applied for at the Water Cube.

As the Water Cube will undergo a full post-Games renovation in October, the pilot swimming activity will end by the National Day holiday.
