A NEW body to encourage people to use Olympics swimming facilities after the Games has been unveiled today.

Newham Aquatics, a partnership between several organisations including Newham Council, Newham Swimming Club and the University of East London, will provide advice and support for swimmers.

The aquatics centre, with its distinctive wave-shaped roof, will include two 50m pools, a 25m diving pool and seating for 2,500 spectators.Click here to follow the Waltham Forest Guardian on Twitter
