VENUE:
The venue is called Tampereen Uintikeskus (Swimming Center of the City of Tampere). The address is Joukahaisenkatu 7a, Tampere, Finland. There is free parking (up to 4 hours) at the venue, but given the number of athletes and organization, it is preferrable to use public transportation. The most convenient transport is the tram line 3, the desired stop being conveniently named \``Uintikeskus\``. Bus, taxi or e-scooters are other convenient options and it\`s not too bad for walking either.

DYN and DYNB disciplines will be at a 50 m pool. Start will be on the shallow end (1.2 m) and maximum depth at the other end is 4 m. We will use a 25m pool for DNF. The pool is 1.2m deep from the shallow end and 2,0m deep from the deep end. Temperature of the water is +27C.

STA will be held in smaller pool, with varying depth. It will be 0.9 m in the competition zone and water temperature is +28C.
