What has happened to the facility since the Olympics concluded?
About half of the building has been turned into an indoor waterpark, which opened to the public on August 8, 2010. The park includes water rides, water slides, a wave pool, spa areas, and so forth. The remaining half of the facility is also used for various water-based activities, including swimming, aquatic sports, fitness and recreation.
