The structure has gone through a facelift, and has mounted rooms and sections for spectators, athletes, VIPs, media, competition management, securities and venue operations in line with the requirements of the Olympic Games.

Thanks to partition walls, the rooms and sections can been altered easily for post-Games needs: the four bathrooms for the Games can be changed into two larger ones after the Games.

With a total floor area of 44,635 square meters, the Ying Tung Natatorium can seat up to 4,852 people. During the Olympic Games, the venue will play host to water polo, as well as the swimming competitions of the modern pentathlon.
