Question re seating at Aquatics Centre

suebfg

Have finally secured tickets for the Paralympic swimming but our seats are in block 107(row 4, seats 159.160 and 161). These seats are by the diving pool, not the main pool -see link below.

I'm concerned that the view will be poor - what do others think?

Thanks for sharing the map. I guess it depends which end of that block you're at, but at least you're nearer to the start finish line that people who are at the other end of the pool

Well done for getting tickets. I've been trying and failing I think I'd be happy to be in there for the atmosphere. I'm sure there are big screens so you won't miss any of the action

I was on it all morning then logged off to do stuff only to find out that loads of swimming tickets were released today and i missed out now put twitter on my phone to alert me when tickets are on sale. hope that works!

My other half managed to put a cuckoo alert on the ticket page for me which alerts me to when tickets are released. I find it alerts me a few seconds earlier than the twitter alert.

I understand there are no water taps inside the Aquatics Centre so we will need to fill up before we go in. Anyone got any tips on the nearest spots to do this? I'm hoping there is a toilet inside - 3 hours without the loo could be trickly!! :eek:

There are plenty of loos in all the venues (even for ladies it really isn't a problem :T). But I did find that there aren't nearly as many water fountains as the publicity suggests though some of the concessions will fill your bottle.
